Advice to Senior Management – N/A

Current Employee – been working at MoneyGram International

Pros – The company has competitive pay, ecourages supportive training, and provides continually enhanced technical resources to its' employees. You can send all of the money you want any where in the world for free.

Cons – The company policies have becorme increasingly restrictive and negatively focused toward employees. Explicitly: no comp-time for salaried workers that work overtime, and some of us have to work a lot of overtime. In addition, the only person in the company that can approve an employment contract is the CEO; you can be fired at any time for any reason without notice; leaving us with a very insecure work environment.

Former Employee – worked at MoneyGram International

Pros – Friendly and intelligent people. Minneapolis is a great cosmopolitan city but cold in winter. Attitude is mostly very cooperative and interactive between functional areas.

Cons – Going through major changes in management and location. Some contraction in services being sold. Some uncertainty.

This site still has Tony Ryan listed. Management has changed !

Advice to Senior Management – Should work harder to maintain some existing talent. Some who have left due to changes represent a good "brain trust" and should have been interviewed rather than making "paper changes". You don't want to face your talent as future competition....

Current Employee – been working at MoneyGram International

Pros – Challenging, opportunity to try different things, fast paced, corporate education classes for free, fitness facility, scheduling flexibilty, work from home options

Cons – There is a lack of communication between managers, conflicting goals, lack of continuity, more focusing on placing blame than getting the job done.

Advice to Senior Management – Focus on getting the work done instead of trying to figure out who will take the blame if it doesn't get done. Everyone is too scared to do anything.

Current Employee – been working at MoneyGram International

Pros – An opportunity to understand various cultures of many of our customers as they immigrate from country to country. This makes the job very interesting. The mid-level management has been very good to work with.

Cons – The amount of change over the past year has left the employees feeling very under-valued and under-appreciated. The new ownership and senior management have not done a very good job of instilling confidence in their abilities to lead beyond cutting costs for a sell-off in the future.

Advice to Senior Management – Be honest with your message to the employees. They have stayed loyal to the company through all of the changes but that was due to a leader that was honest and showed he cared for the company and the employees.

Pros – Good working enviornment and good people! Provide a very generous PTO program. They leave you and let you do your job.

Cons – Impossible sales quota and too many reports to complete takes you away from selling. Company never recognizes sales people because no one ever makes quota.

Advice to Senior Management – Provide more realistic goals and provide a recognition program for the sales people to shoot for. Low salary and limited commission and bonus opportunity.
