Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Flexible work schedule with opportunites to work from home. Very good mid-level management. Nice office and cafeteria on site.

Cons

Always reorganizing, outsourcing and sending jobs off shore. Upper management concentrates on customer satisfaction and has forgotten about employee satisfaction. Moral is very bad. There is a strong fear that the goal is to phase out Denver office and move to LA and NY and leave a small operations office in Denver.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pockets of really good folks, currently has solid revenue. Very nice campus in Englewood. Some really sharp technology (some not). Decent Pay

Cons

Lack of solid vision. Good slogans but disjointed action. Many changes recently so we seem to be in a perpetual "this could be the year" state. Overly dependant on some antiquated technology and practices.

Pros

Their new digital venture may bear fruit. Good cash flow. Nice, driven people at the middle management level.

Cons

People often not empowered to do what needs to be done. Ultimately WU needs to decide whether to move into the 21st Century or not. The management seems like a parody of Fortune 500 companies at times.
