Pros

Great compensation/benefits. Company is starting to truly transform and stock price is reflecting progress. Outstanding global opportunity and focus on philanthropy through the WU Foundation is excellent.

Cons

Sometimes WU can be slow to change. Senior leadership should drive more innovation, quicker, to compete with the marketplace.
