Pros

Unmatched global brand & trust – decades of credibility in cross-border paymemts Deep retail footprint – massive agent network Real sales training ground – quota pressure, consultative selling, negotiation, and resilience were forged there (no soft reps survived).

Cons

Slow innovation & legacy mindset – weighed down by old systems while fintechs move fast, test fast, and break things. Retail dependency in a digital world – foot traffic decline Bureaucracy over agility – too many layers, approvals, and internal politics for a market that demands speed and bold moves. Bottom line: Western Union didn’t fail because it was bad; it struggled because it was built for a world that no longer exists. The irony?

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - only 3 days required in office

Cons

- Leadership does not foster a collaborative culture. Sometimes inappropriately mean, dismissive, toxic. - 3 days in office required. Seating is not assigned, so you do not have a guaranteed desk for your items unless you come in 4 days per week for 3 consecutive months.
