Pros

The opportunity to work with international colleagues while based in Colorado. Stock throws off a routine dividend if you're equity eligible.

Cons

Year over year headcount reductions to manage to budget. No leadership focus or long term strategic plan. This is the definition of putting lipstick on a pig. Don't be fooled, perception is king here with little substance. There hasn't been a Chief of HR for almost a year, if that doesn't say something about their commitment to people, an 80% pay out on bonuses, when the streets expectations were met, should.

Western Union Response

Thanks for your review! Working with colleagues in over 50 countries globally is definitely a valuable experience. Western Union (WU) is expanding its digital offerings globally, and the organizational structure has shifted in order to support this technology focus. Our Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) is still in his role, and has been asked to also lead a key initiative for the company, helping to drive our long-term growth strategy. We will continue to seek the voice of our customers (internal and external). Please don’t hesitate to share specific suggestions. Thanks for being a part of WU!

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.
