Pros

None. Not worth the stress.

Cons

Run as far away as possible. They will suck you dry and grind you down to a nub. You have been warned. No promotion opportunities. Western Union Hired a New CIO, CTO and all they have done is let employees go and hired their own friends. Directors, Managers, VP positions will never be advertised and will be filled with friends of the CIO or CTO all the while never been advertised internally. The CIO and CTO brought in "consultants" and then suddenly, tadaaaaah, they get promoted to a Sr Manager, Director or VP into unadvertised position. Clearly Ryan and Ben do want to hire from within. It shows. Run away. For the Ratings below Career Opportunities - if I could give 0 stars I would. Non Existent. Non advertised leadership positions are given to friends of the CTO or CIO Compensations & Benefits - No Raises for Director and above for years Culture & Values - 2 stars Diversity & Inclusion - 2 stars Senior Management - if I could give 0 stars I would Work / Life Balance - if I could give 0 stars I would. All been forced to return to office and swipe in and out of the office. You go on the naughty list if you breach policy. Its a joke.

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.
