Pros

Western Union is a global, Fortune 500 company with a 160 plus years history to be proud of. Clients and colleagues are from different cultures and territories. Company is ambitious, work environment is dynamic. Company has shifted its focus from money transfer to money movement which opens more opportunities for the company and more products and services for customers. Compensation and benefits are competitive in the market.

Cons

The amount of bureaucracy is substantial, sometimes lengthy approval processes because of the global scale of the company. It takes time and persistence to implement changes and improvements.
