RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Western Union full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
The Purpose of moving money for better is real at WU. The good the company does is amazing, often overlooked. New focus on wuway gives all employees hope for the future.
Cons
Too much bureaucracy and non-value add work mainly driven by finance and legal. Can be passive aggressive, vp's complain without offering solutions.
Advice to Management
Move faster on culture and change, get managers out that are not aligned. Focus on the customer.
