Pros

Flexibility, Location, Some benefits, some co-workers

Cons

No vertical growth, Bureaucracy, Digital keeps hiring folks from Symantec who use WU as platform for next step and leave soon, replacements are again from Symantec. Yapping and Stoning all the way. Retail and Digital business operations have a Steel wall between them with no process common. - Consistent performers have no way of growth vertically. They are the "churners". Always end up showcasing their performance again and again to changing upper management. - Looks like salaries may have improved looking at other reviews, but in my case, they were way below market standard. -Some of the middle management directors just need to go, especially in Digital. -The amount of effort and money being put in "oomph" factor technologies in Digital could be well used if you get your ducks in row, do some analysis and stick to an Enterprise Layer of technologies, modern or traditional. It's a mix of multi million dollar non-sense right now.

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.
