Pros

My hours at Western Union are far more reasonable than previous places I've worked. The pay and benefits are highly competitive.

Cons

The firm does not adequately distinguish between high and low performers. Employee development is not emphasized. There is no mechanism to hold managers responsible for developing their people. Frequently individuals are brought in from outside rather than developing current employees into needed roles. A very top down, very change-resistant culture.
