Pros

Generally good bonus structure particularly if the overall team does well. Opportunity to earn good money per quarter bonus if you are a high achiever. You have the opportunity to buy 3 more days annual leave per year. - Quite a young office - Work life balance very good, despite starting at 8am every one is out the door at 5.30 with no work to take home.

Cons

Office doesn't reflect the wealth and size of the company, no space to eat lunch. Depressing environment, people stay for the sake of the money, the impression is there's no real employee satisfaction or enjoyment outside of pay cheques every quarter. At times feels like a glorified call centre - too focused on call stats. Serious lack of structured training for new staff. You are sat around twiddling thumbs for a couple of months asking for things to do. Lots of bureaucracy because it's such a huge company so basic HR processes can take weeks to get done. Feels like an Account Management role rather than sales half the time, the work can be very mundane. Doesn't have the perks you would expect from a company of this wealth or size.

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.
