Pros

If Veterans are considering employment at Western Union, I would tell them that it’s an incredible place to enrich their career growth. Part Google, part Star-Trek – the amenities and supportive culture will definitely permit any veteran to flourish, and allow them to continue serving in a capacity that impacts people all over the world in so many positive ways…

Cons

Though I have only been there a short time I have neither observed nor felt any downsides so far. Pay and benefits seem to be on par with the rest of the Denver metro and opportunities to apply for a higher position in the company (and earn more compensation) do seem to be available after serving in your present position for 1 year. It was 6 months previously (time in your current position), but I think extending it to a year is perfectly fair.
