Pros

Good insight to the inner workings of a global brand. They are market leaders at what they do and have been for quite some time. There are many different departments and the company would be quite willing to see you move internally if you feel it will be a good fit for you. Earning potential in sales can be very good if you find the right opportunity.

Cons

I was a part of the graduate scheme and to be honest it seemed like a bit of a shambles. No real clear, defined structure to it all and it honestly felt like a mistake making this my first step into the corporate world. Management structure was poor. As a salesperson, commission and sales performance were tied completely to that of your manager. It really is luck of the draw as to who you worked for.

Pros

Exciting time at a company in growth mode where your contributions make a big impact. Clear strategy in the digital, consumer services, and retail space and great people, teams, and leaders bringing it to life in the last year. Meaningful work and actually puts good in the world. Everything we deliver helps people and communities that faced challenges and lack of access / opportunities for generations. Not only do you get to focus on new tech but also what you deliver truly makes a difference in people’s lives. You’re not just serving ads or making rich people richer, you’re helping folks support their families, empower growth in developing nations, create a more connected world where people care for one another. Great growth opportunities and recognition from senior leaders in global forums.

Cons

Small groups negative people that are not open to change, evolution, new ideas but you will find that at any company and not just Western Union. The vast majority of people here are excited for where we are and the direction we are going.
