Pros

I worked under different people and learned so much. It allowed me to improve my resume and get a more suitable and rewarding job.

Cons

Company outsourced many departments, and laid off so many good employees in the process. Outdated software, glitch in programs often. Working crazy hours and no balance between life and work. Cutthroat culture, very toxic environment to work in. People stabbing in the back.

Pros

Western Union has great benefits, 401(k) match, and salary compared to other companies. PTO is also generous, and amenities include cafeteria and gym.

Cons

The culture at Western Union is toxic. Management is only worried about the bottom line, and are very hostile and cutthroat towards their direct reports and their peers. Overall, the worst working experience I've had in almost 10 years

Pros

the people are nice to work with

Cons

No visible leadership; impossible to implement new processes; no direction; they acquired another company we worked for and never took the time to understand that current environment and the value of the employees before they started dismantling the departments and outsourcing offshore.
