Pros

Multicultural environment, possibility to understand what is to work in a corporation, good mark in the CV as to have worked for a world well-known company.

Cons

Bureaucracy is the key word. Salary offers are not competitive anymore. Misleading job advertisement descriptions. Company's huge, thus, you are so small that employer and direct manager does not really care whether you leave or not - you will be quickly replaced. No intentions to combat the huge employee turnover. Seen a lot of hired colleagues that were overqualified (they thought to be doing slightly different tasks) and soon left the job.

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.
