Pros

meaningful business, smart and professional coworkers, global collaboration & teamwork, autonomy, fast-paced, never a dull day, philanthropy

Cons

Too much on each person's plate, leadership decisions often create unnecessary tension and conflicting priorities, lacks knowledge management (a great deal of institutional knowledge lost every time someone leaves, creating a long period of inefficiencies)

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.

Understand that traditional remittances are dying

Cons

Not enough resources available to drive transformation. Legacy tech. Outdated systems, processes. Too much work expected per employee.
