Pros

Some things that work for WU are the great brand it has, the business it does. Apart from this at in individual level things that worked for me were compensation, benefits, work life balance, travel

Cons

WU can work towards improving it's strategy. The start can be made by more competent people handling important roles. More points that need change are 1. Bureaucracy 2. Highly political environement 3. Slow pace of change 4. too many approvals to implement anything 5. absolutely no career growth 6. very little focus on development 7. no empowerment 8. everything comes and has to be done only from the US 9. Frequent lay-off's

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.
