      Good benefits and co-workers, unstable employment

      Pros

      Co-workers are hard working but still have fun. The benefits are reasonably generous. IT projects present interesting challenges of melding new technologies with ancient back end systems. There are a number of staff that have been with WU for over 40 years, so a long career there is possible. Depending on your position, there may be opportunities for international assignments and travel. WU is a very ethical company and emphasizes protecting customers and being compliant with all laws.

      Cons

      WU has a reputation for lots of layoff waves. Fortunately, they have a great severance package that softens the blow and makes employees more willing to ride out the uncertainty rather than bail out for new opportunities. Some management and upper management are uncertain of WU's long-term viability in the face of all the new payment options. Montvalle NJ office staff is always in fear of office closure/outsourcing, though complete closure seems unlikely given the systems expertise in that location. Many don't like the new open concept office layout in Englewood where even directors sit at open tables with no privacy for phone calls.
