      Pros

      Having been with the company 5 months in a full time position, I can say I am happy to work here and the business offers extensive support in development and progression. Aside from the week-long induction process, learning in the business is very much done on the job which is challenging in a good way.

      Cons

      The onboarding paperwork was too repetitive and it would be beneficial to have this all online to streamline the process as it was very frustrating to submit the same information over and over again. It took some time to have programmes installed that were necessary to the job role.

      Glad to have you on the team at WU! Good call about opportunities to improve onboarding. We think you'll be pleased to see that we are currently launching a revamped onboarding experience, with much of the content moving online, to facilitate self-paced learning. New hires will be part of a global new hires community and take part in gamified development to get up to speed at WU.

      Pros

      Good health insurance package, for some people there were possibilities to go higher, competitive salary.

      Cons

      Unprofessional management, employees were not appreciated in that role. Salaries were not increased after two years, only for maybe 5% of people; night shifts and schedules announced really late, you cannot plan your personal life.
