Pros

The company itself is very generous and flexible with their work/life balance. Depending on your specific line of business, you have people that are super dedicated and really care about the success of the organization. You also have managers that really have your back when needed.

Cons

This company has developed a culture of having people point fingers and waste time finding out about a problem instead of being proactive and finding a solution. No one is held accountable for their actions and would rather shift blame elsewhere. Another flaw is that the learning curve for some positions is so great, that most new hires have a hard time transitioning into the "figure it out yourself" culture and end up leaving for greener pastures. Developmentally, the company does not invest in the growth of individuals. Training with certified professionals seems to always be "out of budget." The company is also transitioning into utilizing more consultative services which has significantly demoralized the full-time employees that have to deal with the ineptitude and lack of caring attitude of these individuals.

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.
