Pros

Decent benefits and some smart, motivated colleagues and pretty slow/laid back atmosphere. Depending on the role you also have the ability to direct your work into areas you are interested in. Also, access to occasional event tickets is fun.

Cons

The company is currently in a hiring freeze and doing poorly so there is little to no room for growth and advancement, most of the talent leaves after a couple of years. Upper management seems to lack a consistent vision or is unable to execute which has led the company to consistently miss goals. WU Way is a joke and WU Way 2.0 only shows how ineffective the program is.

Western Union Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to see that you have noted our benefits, the company culture, and the people as pros at WU – we couldn’t agree more! While we are in the middle of a very transformative time, we strive to provide opportunities for all employees based on knowledge, skills, abilities, and reward performance for individual contributions and high-value results. Our WU Way, changing the way we work to deliver a better customer experience and drive growth for the company, requires shared accountability to continuously improve our teamwork, communication, and culture, and that is top of mind for us. As we continue to help influence positive change across our organization, we will share your comments with the appropriate teams.

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.
