Pros

Dynamic, interesting and complex work, multinational environment. Unique customer reach.

Cons

Very "Top-heavy" - too much VPs, Directors and Senior Managers. Too spoiled by the good margins and practically unable to drive change. Not that there are no changes, just the opposite - but they are shallow and doesn't position the company for the future. Spending a lot of money for acquisitions and new fancy ideas that after that simply fail and are folded down. Hiring easy, firing even easier - and this doesn't create a feeling for security and possibility for career development.

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.
