Pros

None. Not worth the stress.

Cons

Run as far away as possible. They will suck you dry and grind you down to a nub. You have been warned. No promotion opportunities. Western Union Hired a New CIO, CTO and all they have done is let employees go and hired their own friends. Directors, Managers, VP positions will never be advertised and will be filled with friends of the CIO or CTO all the while never been advertised internally. The CIO and CTO brought in "consultants" and then suddenly, tadaaaaah, they get promoted to a Sr Manager, Director or VP into unadvertised position. Clearly Ryan and Ben do want to hire from within. It shows. Run away. For the Ratings below Career Opportunities - if I could give 0 stars I would. Non Existent. Non advertised leadership positions are given to friends of the CTO or CIO Compensations & Benefits - No Raises for Director and above for years Culture & Values - 2 stars Diversity & Inclusion - 2 stars Senior Management - if I could give 0 stars I would Work / Life Balance - if I could give 0 stars I would. All been forced to return to office and swipe in and out of the office. You go on the naughty list if you breach policy. Its a joke.

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

- Unlimited PTO - only 3 days required in office

Cons

- Leadership does not foster a collaborative culture. Sometimes inappropriately mean, dismissive, toxic. - 3 days in office required. Seating is not assigned, so you do not have a guaranteed desk for your items unless you come in 4 days per week for 3 consecutive months.
