Pros

I was a part of Trans Union Canada and had no experience with Trans Union US so this review is solely for TransUnion Canada. A decent brand name to have on your resume if you are in this industry. Other than that cannot think of a single positive point for this company and don't even know why I joined it.

Cons

Little or no hand holding during the probation period which is pathetic as it's a fast paced company. I really don't know how I even lasted for close to 2 years there. Extremely lazy HR people who totally forget you after you are on boarded. In my entire 2 years I barely spoke to them at the time of my joining and that's it. They don't do anything from an employee engagement stand point or anything else...everything is done by the Social Committee there. Fire people left, right and center without explanation and saw many people being let go during my time there. A very average benefits package.

First, I would like to thank you for sharing your feedback. Second, I want to say that I'm sorry you had this experience, and want you to know your feedback will be taken seriously. For me personally, respect is non-negotiable, and I would really like to hear more about what you experienced so I can address it. One other thing struck me from your cons - it's true that we do move fast and have high performance standards here at TU. However, we take every employment decision very seriously, so we can continue to deliver the best for our clients and consumers. We've been working to enhance our sales operations and make sure our employees have the opportunity to grow, but there's always room for improvement. We've since made changes to key roles in the last 12 months based on feedback from our teams. Additionally, we know there's continued room for improvement with our onboarding of new team members. We've made significant changes to our onboarding program - like moving to a fully integrated digital system. Our HR team provides numerous touch points throughout the process to ensure it is seamless for our new hires and they know exactly what to expect on day 1. These changes have had a positive impact on the new hire and associate experience. We will continue to emphasize areas of opportunity in 2019 and won't lose sight of it. If you'd be willing, I would like to have a conversation with you to better understand where you feel we missed the mark - please reach out to me directly at Todd.Skinner@transunion.com. - Todd Skinner, President - TransUnion Canada, Latin America, and Caribbean

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
