Pros

Opportunity to work with people from all over the world.

Cons

Little delegation of responsibility. Worked on some interesting projects but upper level managers would then take over the project leaving the "worker bees" with little opportunity for growth and exposure during decision making process. With no opportunity for development, work became boring. Disengagement among employees was the norm.

Pros

Very exciting times at Western Union with the pending acquisition of Intermex and a lot of the announcements around wallets and digital assets

Cons

The international offices seem to do a good job around cultural and office events while the US seems to lack this in some areas.

Pros

Understand that traditional remittances are dying

Cons

Not enough resources available to drive transformation. Legacy tech. Outdated systems, processes. Too much work expected per employee.
