Pros

Very strong purpose (the mission is fantastic) and a fantastic workforce (literally working with people from around the world). You would be hard pressed to find a more global company & experiences. Really like the recent strategic direction & initiatives! It's an exciting time to be at WU!

Cons

Now stick with the strategic direction and initiatives! Management has been slow to innovate and pull the trigger on moves that look promising. We need to be less risk adverse and more aggressive.

Thanks! We love the very global nature of working at WU. Appreciate the input on "staying the course" in terms of strategy. We are constantly balancing risk and opportunity, and are excited about some of the ground-breaking FinTech offerings we've rolled out recently, such as WU Connect and WU EDGE.

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.
