Pros

- Rich brand history, employees have certain pride that goes along with the prestigious company name - Global leader within the electronic remittance industry = nice on resumé - Warm, friendly & informal working atmosphere - Lighter wokload compared to other companies I've worked for

Cons

- Unfair salary gaps between employees - Overseas managers including employees have poor command of the English language. Many don't understand internal announcements, working & training materials. I find this unacceptable & mediocre. - Senior management lacks consumer insight. Sometimes shows favoritism & this leads to low morale.

Pros

Good things here come to those who hustle, not those who wait. Good ideas float to the top rapidly, and get implemented quickly. Recognition of talent is also common place, and several programs exist to highlight our achievements when we go beyond our call of duty. If you keep abreast of the markets, the industry and the product line, you are bound to have a soaring career here.

Cons

It's a large company, and you need to push yourself to connect with your colleagues. Hoping your boss will open all your doors for you is a recipe for failure.
