Pros

Competitive salary compared to industry standards. Hybrid work arrangement offers some flexibility.

Cons

Western Union has become an increasingly unstable place to work. Regular layoffs mean job security is non-existent—you could wake up jobless any day. Top management is demanding, with little regard for how employees get the job done, as we have no choice but to comply in fear of losing our jobs. Leadership shows minimal interest in employee welfare, cutting feedback opportunities from quarterly to just once a year. The weak leadership fails to stand up for their teams, creating a poor work environment where employees feel unsupported and undervalued.

Pros

Exciting time at a company in growth mode where your contributions make a big impact. Clear strategy in the digital, consumer services, and retail space and great people, teams, and leaders bringing it to life in the last year. Meaningful work and actually puts good in the world. Everything we deliver helps people and communities that faced challenges and lack of access / opportunities for generations. Not only do you get to focus on new tech but also what you deliver truly makes a difference in people’s lives. You’re not just serving ads or making rich people richer, you’re helping folks support their families, empower growth in developing nations, create a more connected world where people care for one another. Great growth opportunities and recognition from senior leaders in global forums.

Cons

Small groups negative people that are not open to change, evolution, new ideas but you will find that at any company and not just Western Union. The vast majority of people here are excited for where we are and the direction we are going.
