Pros

My immediate team is high performing, strong work ethic, great working relationships and collaboration. Benefits are generally very good, great vacation and salaries seem to be higher than average.

Cons

Western Union have slow or little innovation. It is extremely difficult to get any funding or investment in technology upgrades or product investment. There is a culture of layoffs and cutting costs to make earnings numbers. At least a couple of major layoffs every year for the past few years. There are silos between groups/teams, even in same departments. Very difficult to troubleshoot system problems between various IT teams. Lots of bureaucracy.
