Pros

Good salary and some good people

Cons

Old tech/platforms. Little to no training or leadership for the staff. Siloed structure meant that it was always a challenge to collaborate across teams/regions. Extremely poor management that happily throws people under the bus so they can get promoted. Different rules and opportunities if you were part of the right cliques. I witnessed multiple instances of bullying and harassment from both managers and colleagues and it was always just swept under the carpet by HR and leaders.

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.
