Pros

good people, used to be good culture too...

Cons

The current President of the Workforce Solutions business unit is only focused on one side of the business. As a result, changes are being made with no regard to half of the employees. The first thing this president did when he took over was add several additional layers of management, so any hope of front line employees (account managers, sales, operations) having their voices heard is near impossible. Or worse, when they are heard, they're simply ignored. It's really a shame, because the new CEO seems great, but this company is so big the CEO doesn't have that much of an impact on the day to day...that comes down to the business president and his direct reports (SVPs). As if things weren't bad enough after the breach, upper management decided one month after the breach would be a good time to lay off half the account managers, leaving major accounts with no contact person for up to 6 months in some cases. Now us current account managers are left to clean up the mess. Sales plans, books of business, quota, and bonus plans are consistently delivered late and even change mid year sometimes, costing employees thousands of dollars. As a result, but not surprisingly, this year we half lost our best sales people across every sales team. This business unit is slowly crumbling from the inside out, and unfortunately by the time someone finally listens and does something about it at the top, it's going to be too late.

Pros

Overtime options are great. The pay is okay, but be prepared to sacrifice your peace of mind.

Cons

It's like pulling teeth trying to get a day or just a few hours off for doctors appointments, family priorities, etc. I was penalized for missing work due to having a miscarriage and needing immediate medical attention. My supervisor took multiple unscheduled days off, even came in on a Monday and decided she wanted to take the rest of the week off... and did. you are constantly going to be micromanaged and looked at under a microscope. Equifax sacrifices quality service for fast service. there is a constant competition to close more cases per day. Good luck going to higher up with any issues, they will just tell you to hang in there things will be better soon. I experienced retaliation from multiple supervisors for reporting issues I was having with them. laying off hundreds of American employees to take business abroad for cheaper labor while grossing highest profits in company history is insane. In conclusion, this is the most toxic environment I have ever worked in, If the job market was better I would've been gone long before I hit 1 year of employment.
