      Pros

      At Western Union you work with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Life is never boring as you are always learning something new.

      Cons

      Work life balance can be challenging. Someone somewhere is always working and depending on your role, your days can be very long, as you are expected to be available.

      Western Union has changed in recent years, and not for the better. They have so much potential!.

      Pros

      The pay is great - much higher than most in comparable industries. The company is excellent at providing many methods of training/growth - including their own on-line "university" where you can learn most things - including other languages The benefits and paid time off were excellent - health, vision, dental. life & 3 weeks PTO to start The company used to be more employee-focused, but has lost that due to bottom-line management Great people to work with. Every department I was in contact with had really good people working there Great location in Englewood - free parking, company cafeteria and concierge services available

      Cons

      The company used to be more employee-friendly. Even executives stated that unless you were working 50-60+ hours each week, that you would not be able to accomplish everything you had to do. Too much work and not enough employees - huge layoffs in the last couple of years. The company wants to get "lean," but they are working their people to death. There used to be fun employee events to help blow off steam and relax a bit, but now everyone keeps working at their desk - through breaks and lunches, and you are frowned upon if you leave for a bit. The company is spending millions of dollars to renovate the space - all VERY small cubicles with no desk space, storage or privacy - even for directors and VPs.
