Pros

Good flexibility, benefits, and compensation.

Cons

Constant re-structures and most notably in 2019.. the current WU way project is causing a lot of speculation and anxiety amongst employees.. difficult to focus when roles, reporting lines and business are in a state of flux. Yes change is good and needed in WU but some announcements are questionable. Many tenured employees just want to leave but are holding out for severance. Feels like we are getting ‘lean’ for a takeover??!
