Pros

Good people, diverse culture, nice trips if you're senior management

Cons

Lack of discipline to stick to strategy, only strategy is cost-cutting with annual corporate layoffs. Lots of talk about "new" focus, but it's repackaging of already-tried approaches. Management scared to take bold moves that are needed in an industry that is quickly passing them by.

Pros

Very exciting times at Western Union with the pending acquisition of Intermex and a lot of the announcements around wallets and digital assets

Cons

The international offices seem to do a good job around cultural and office events while the US seems to lack this in some areas.

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.
