Pros

Some of the people are great.

Cons

The company runs on who you know and who likes you. Nepotism is rife as is the amount of managers who are not capable of working at the level they have been promoted to. The senior management is tone deaf, and at a top level there is a lack of interest in their staff, apparent by the bullying culture which has got worse in the last three years. Executives who curse and scream at staff are tolerated, women and minorities in management are severely under-represented. HR don't care they now have a model where they report into the head of each area, making a closed loop for any complaints. The benefits are not great and get worse every year. Add to this a dishonest representation of how the company has 'improved' since the breach - at best it is just as bad as it was before, just in a different way. The CEO says he cares about diversity and about the BLM movement; he doesn't. Just look at the make up of the senior management team... Bottom line, the company gets it's assets (data) for nothing and packages them into sales-worthy products - it's a business model that makes money no matter how the economy is doing (especially the St Louis portion of the business). Despite this they keep laying people off just before the holidays then talking about how much money they are making. After each layoff the remaining staff are expected to do more work to make up the short fall. I actively encourage anyone looking for a position to look elsewhere unless they know a senior manager - then they will be absolutely fine.

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.
