Western Union reviews

This company has developed a culture of having people point fingers and waste time finding out about a problem instead of being proactive and finding a solution. No one is held accountable for their actions and would rather shift blame elsewhere. Another flaw is that the learning curve for some positions is so great, that most new hires have a hard time transitioning into the "figure it out yourself" culture and end up leaving for greener pastures. Developmentally, the company does not invest in the growth of individuals. Training with certified professionals seems to always be "out of budget." The company is also transitioning into utilizing more consultative services which has significantly demoralized the full-time employees that have to deal with the ineptitude and lack of caring attitude of these individuals.

- Core business profitability is in decline and company responding primarily through expense management - transferring domestic jobs to Central America and Eastern Europe. Innovation bought through acquisition rather than in-house development. If you are involved in offshoring or acquisition projects, this can be a very interesting place to work. Unfortunately most employees are in operational or support roles and a lot of them find this environment very unpredictable and feel uncertain about their job security. - A lot of time and money is expended annually to communicate a vision and set company wide objectives and values aligned with achieving that vision. Regrettably, senior management seem unable to maintain a consistent vision year after year (or even in the same year) and company values are often not demonstrated from the top down. - Employees interested in being excellent at their work and achieving goals that seem beyond their reach are often frustrated by the levels of bureaucracy, organizational silos, and lack of accountability. If you're interested in keeping busy, but not getting anything done of significance, this could be the place for you!
