Pros

Hybrid work opportunity is the greatest pro of this company at this point.

Cons

Employees are over worked and underpaid. There is little opportunity for growth, particularly now as the business is rapidly deteriorating and hemorrhaging customers. The company has not paid employees a full bonus payout in years and yet the executives continue to take millions in compensation, even new executives who have contributed less than nothing to the company. “Merit” increases are no where near current rates of inflation and executives don’t care to address any of these issues.

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.
