Western Union reviews

Annual layoffs due to poor management and lack of a strategy they can stick to. Many in senior management have surrounded themselves with their friends leading to a lack of diversity in skills and thought. The majority of the quality long term employees have left, are leaving, or are planning to leave. Year after year, less and less gets accomplished.

Total comp is not competitive because of changes to bonuses (much smaller and shifted more to RSUs that will depreciate). The company has eroded benefits and perks as much as possible, but I'm sure they will find more ways. There is not much room for career advancement and your pay quickly becomes uncompetitive. Leadership values corporate speak without results more than competency. Things take too long to release to customers. There are too many priorities for the workforce so it leads to delays, burnout, and turnover. Employee evaluations are really just a popularity contest. The company cannot sustain its dividend payments for more than a couple years and needs to be acquired or go private to have a chance of survival. For now, there is a lot of restructuring, layoffs, toxic competitiveness, turf wars, and a focus on things that have nothing to do with improving revenue. Every time I come back from a few days office, there is an important departure or layoff.
