Pros

The company does its best to hire only people with a very good attitude and aptitude level, the team is among the best I've ever worked with. The technology is very interesting, all home grown, and the product delivers tangible value and generates a lot of revenue. The core values of the company make it really easy to provide good customer service, you never feel like you're lying to your customers or trying to screw them over. Almost all of the key team members have been here at least 5 years, so there's a lot of stability and continuity in the key knowledge centers throughout the company. There's been a strong focus on promoting from within over the past 12 months. Work life balance is great. Compensation is really great.

Cons

The customer is number one, so if something happens that hurts a customer, it can be stressful to report that to senior management. Also, day to day customer requests can derail long-term strategic plans. eScan has been experiencing a transition from a "startup" to a "midsize" company for a couple years now with mixed success. Because all the technology is homegrown and because the company still has a startup feel, there's not a ton of documentation so it can be hard to get the information you need to do your job well unless you're the kind of person who enjoys figuring it out for yourself. There need to be more tools for employees.

Pros

In your down time, if you're caught up on tickets you can basically do whatever you want granted, you're still attentive to phone calls No overbearing managers checking in on you

Cons

Company feels very disorganized TransUnion uses SalesForce as their main ticketing system, and it is not maintained at all. When a new account manager takes over an account, half the time they do not update who the account manager is in SalesForce or they will simply create a new account. You'll receive a lot of complaints from customers informing you they do not know who their account manager. I've been told by customers that Experian and Equifax list who their account manager is when they log into their accounts. A lot of times you'll be sent on a wild goose chase to track down who the actual account manager is. There are many accounts with the same name or a slightly altered name. For example, there will be walmart, WalMart, WALMART, and you will have to figure out which is the most up to date account for the customer. Some account managers flat out ignore calls and emails from their customers which ends up causing more work for you since they'll be calling and emailing whatever number and/or email they can, and you'll team majority of the time receives the brunt of it. Feels less like IT/technical work and more like a call center where your sole objective is to push tickets and direct tickets to the correct location. There will be many tickets you are unable to resolve on your own because you do not have the correct permissions. Unfortunately, this role is the catch all net for when the system, customers, or other TransUnion employees are unsure who to go to for an issue, meaning, you'll also receive a lot of tickets that do not fall into your scope. For example, you'll receive tickets for billing and invoices, account managers not responding to customers, questions about websites/applications you do not know, and more. A lot of the login error tickets could be reduced if TransUnion websites informed the customer what the issue is. For example, instead of the website informing the customer their account has been locked, or they need to perform a password reset, the website will only tell the customer to contact the 1-800 number, which also creates more work for you. There's honestly a lot more wrong with this position that makes you basically feel like you are the bottom of the barrel, but I only have so much energy
