Pros

If Veterans are considering employment at Western Union, I would tell them that it’s an incredible place to enrich their career growth. Part Google, part Star-Trek – the amenities and supportive culture will definitely permit any veteran to flourish, and allow them to continue serving in a capacity that impacts people all over the world in so many positive ways…

Cons

Though I have only been there a short time I have neither observed nor felt any downsides so far. Pay and benefits seem to be on par with the rest of the Denver metro and opportunities to apply for a higher position in the company (and earn more compensation) do seem to be available after serving in your present position for 1 year. It was 6 months previously (time in your current position), but I think extending it to a year is perfectly fair.

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.

Pros

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 Outdated systems, processes.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.
