Pros

Interesting work when you are allowed to do it without interference. Some good people at middle / lower level in the company. Offering a service that people really need.

Cons

Am I the only person to have spotted that the CEO doesn't have a clue? Revenue down, profits down, customers switching, share price collapsed, and his 'strategy' in response is to fire people and travel around the world in luxury with his personal photographer and PR exec, posting pointless stories every day. Hanging around at the Gates and Clinton Foundation meetings talking about poverty. Talking about leadership at industry forums. Really ironic given his CEO package and total lack of leadership skills.

Pros

Very exciting times at Western Union with the pending acquisition of Intermex and a lot of the announcements around wallets and digital assets

Cons

The international offices seem to do a good job around cultural and office events while the US seems to lack this in some areas.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - only 3 days required in office

Cons

- Leadership does not foster a collaborative culture. Sometimes inappropriately mean, dismissive, toxic. - 3 days in office required. Seating is not assigned, so you do not have a guaranteed desk for your items unless you come in 4 days per week for 3 consecutive months.
