Pros

Salary is OK. Location near AT&T Park is great if you like baseball. Worldwide brand recognition.

Cons

Stealth layoffs. Product organization has more say than marketing or design. Engineering s below average, which stifles growth and any hope of doing anything "cool" or forward-thinking.

Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback. Western Union is expanding its digital offerings globally, and the organizational structure has shifted in order to support this technology focus. Western Union is interested in continuing to drive down bureaucracy wherever there is opportunity. For example, we have leadership development programs, like WU Lead and Leadership in Action, and hope to continue to reduce the number of negative experiences people have with their management/leadership. We would like to get more information about your advice to management. To schedule some time to talk to someone in-person, confidentially, please email: careers@westernunion.com.

Pros

Western Union was a great place to grow if you are motivated. The company wants to do well and generally efforts are well focused.

Cons

Lots of turnover that hurts a company that does write it's how to do things down. Challenging market that takes market share consistently.
