Pros

I work in in the corporate headquarters in Colorado and it has quickly become on of my favorite companies to work for. The company culture is better than most, they don't talk about diversity, they just do it. I can have a phone call or meeting with people from 50 countries all in one morning and that's a normal morning. The company is making great strides towards new technology for the employees and they are great benefits including competitive PTO and healthcare.

Cons

As large and old as this company is there is some definite bureaucracy you have to deal with in order to get things moving forward, but that is said for any company of more than a few hundred employees. Don't expect to move mountains without a lot of other people involved and a very long time frame. We have had some recent large regulatory issues that have been resolved so there is a lot of fear and uncertainty in the company right now, but overall it is still a good place.

Thanks for sharing! Like you, we also love the diversity of Western Union. With approximately 10,000 employees working in over 50 countries, we are passionate about being a global company. To address your cons, WU is interested in continuing to drive down bureaucracy wherever there is opportunity, and we hope to continue to decrease our employees' negative experiences with their leadership. Thanks again for your great feedback.

Pros

Western Union was a great place to grow if you are motivated. The company wants to do well and generally efforts are well focused.

Cons

Lots of turnover that hurts a company that does write it's how to do things down. Challenging market that takes market share consistently.
