Pros

WU offers a fantastic challenge for regional and global support to many different people and cultures. Money transfers to family members back home is greater than foreign aid. It is a great thing to help so many in very practical ways. WU is also innovating in mobile payments making it easier for people to send and recieve money.

Cons

W'U talks the talk but does not walk the walk in terms of racial diversity. Although there is more to diversity than race, there are no Blacks in senior management nor on the board of a company that prides itself on diversity. Explained as there are no qualified Black candidates when doing global searches for management positions does not suffice. There is also blatant sexist treatment of females.
