Pros

I don't have many pros to say about Western Union which is why I left. However, I do love that you can work globally with many colleagues and get to really know other cultures.

Cons

I'm not sure where to even start. In the past year, they taken away cell phone benefits (offering a one-time payment of $250 to cover costs), have stated that their unlimited FTO policy is actually limited to 20 days annually, have started tracking employees badge scans down to the second and reporting on if they aren't at 8 hours or more in the office for 3 days a week (with rumors they are trying to hire someone to track when you go for lunch so that doesn't count towards the 8 hours) and no flexibility when it comes to work from home policies for most employees (even though a majority of execs have that privilege). There are also very, very limited career advancement opportunities unless you are a favorite of upper management.

Pros

Exciting time at a company in growth mode where your contributions make a big impact. Clear strategy in the digital, consumer services, and retail space and great people, teams, and leaders bringing it to life in the last year. Meaningful work and actually puts good in the world. Everything we deliver helps people and communities that faced challenges and lack of access / opportunities for generations. Not only do you get to focus on new tech but also what you deliver truly makes a difference in people’s lives. You’re not just serving ads or making rich people richer, you’re helping folks support their families, empower growth in developing nations, create a more connected world where people care for one another. Great growth opportunities and recognition from senior leaders in global forums.

Cons

Small groups negative people that are not open to change, evolution, new ideas but you will find that at any company and not just Western Union. The vast majority of people here are excited for where we are and the direction we are going.
