Pros

The people can be great to work with - very friendly environment. They do take care of their employees.

Cons

Very siloed environment. Difficult to do business with any other business unit other than your own. Unfortunately, the current atmosphere is trying cut their way to growth - no budgets for anything outside of a few areas, and frequent layoffs

Pros

Truly global company, very international company and culture. You can meet some really great people.

Cons

Being undisputed market leader so far, Western Union have problems to react adequately in times of trouble. Disconnect between the global mission of the company, and the actions of the senior management team.Too much personnel turnover, which gives sense of insecurity, and also obstructs internal rotations and career advancement
