Pros

Some things that work for WU are the great brand it has, the business it does. Apart from this at in individual level things that worked for me were compensation, benefits, work life balance, travel

Cons

WU can work towards improving it's strategy. The start can be made by more competent people handling important roles. More points that need change are 1. Bureaucracy 2. Highly political environement 3. Slow pace of change 4. too many approvals to implement anything 5. absolutely no career growth 6. very little focus on development 7. no empowerment 8. everything comes and has to be done only from the US 9. Frequent lay-off's

Hoards of Middle Management

Pros

I cannot emphasize enough that the pay is really good, especially considering the very low expectations.

Cons

Depending on your ethics (this might be considered one of the Pros) 80% of the Sr. Management and above on my team worked less than 20 hours/week. Hoards of middle management. Becoming out of date very quickly. No Accountability. No Direction.
