Pros
I work within the Business Solutions division of Western Union and everything is built around a high performance sales culture. The expectations are high but the rewards for success are even greater! I've been with the business more than 12 years (dating back to Travelex Global Business Payments era) and it has enabled me to grow personally and professionally and also markedly increase my financial stability and standard of living as a result of what I've earned in bonus due to my hard work and success performance.
Cons
It's not a 9-5 job; to be highly successful you need to treat it almost like a "vocation". That is not to say that there is no regard for "work-life balance"; this is an area that is being addressed and improved but, as with most things in life, you get out what you put in! It should also be noted that as we move towards a more regulated (banking) environment you will need to study for and achieve an appropriate level of Professional Qualifications. The business will of course support you fully (including footing the cost) in this process.
