What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication, empathy, decision taking processes
Trust your employees, be close to ground reality and stop firing smart people who care for the company, you are loosing talent. live the culture if you really want people to adapt to the new culture,
Actually having HR that also looks at the culture and office environment
Culture needs to change change
The leadership team sugar coats things and offers constant hyperbolic praise for achievements, but their words are at odds with the nature of the underlying organisation, which is sclerotic, siloed and defensive. It's all so much rhetoric and window dressing. It's a business looking out for itself.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
THE HEALTH CARE PROVIDER THAT IS AVAILABLE
Base salary and equity bonus
Overall good in hand salary
Tuition reimbursement and compensation program
The perks given to all employees at different company events. Western Union generous initiatives are such unique opportunity to have as an employee of them.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Better PSU allocation. Fair bonus decisioning & payout. Base salary aligned with local market standards!
Better bonuses relative to performance
Despite getting multiple pay raises it has been impossible to get hired directly by WU. They favor keeping people on the rolls as contracted employees. I have been able to get WU to help with negotiating with the contractors however what they offer is not comparable to being a direct WU employee.
Women are underpaid and work life balance is non-existent
What are some of the best things about your team?
people committed to share ideas, be receptive, and inclusive
I don't have any comments.
Payments knowledge, collaboration, transparency, hard working
Collaboration with each other and helping nature
Talented team but demotivated by leaders making wrong choices and firing talented people
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Coworkers need to voice out their opinion about mismanagement
I don't work there just an owner
My team is a feelings-only environment where you walk on eggshells around everybody. Each person thinks that they are the most emotionally sensitive and hence superior team person, and looks down on colleagues who are more interested in their actual work and making profit for the business.
Stop the chit chat, constant talking about yourselves, and get to work.

Low pressure environment, competency based situational questions asked.

Stop worrying about shareholders and take care of your own.
Review from HR Dept
No process on place to improve
Review from HR Dept
WU is not competing like a tech company, they are tethered to the retail transactions that have been the basis of their revenue in the past. This is causing them to lose more and more market share. They will likely fail, best case scenario is that they get bought out by another company.
The company announced changes are coming and months of agonizing layoff rumors.
