OK company to start a career but lousy pay. Executives and business leaders don't know their ass from their elbow. - Program Manager Mercer Employee Review

Pros

Mercer is a great company to start a career at but the pay is very poor.

Cons

Senior management doesn't know its ass from its elbow when it comes to developing and retaining talented up-and-coming business leaders. Senior business leaders make knee-jerk reactions, especially with the recent economic climate regarding layoffs and benefit cuts. Most executives come from competitors and make important decisions as if its the same company they came from, they definitely do not understand the infrastructure of the business.

Pros

paid well, honored sick leave and FMLA, reasonable benefits,

Cons

They don't actually pay bonuses, or at least not to new hires who fall through the cracks of team and project assignments - and they'll claim it's that person's fault with no way to change what's happening around them. Management supports discriminatory and bullying behavior regarding who gets billable work, who attends meetings and on-sites, etc. Mostly, men go and only younger or non-technical women. They had men present women's work as their own. If you protest too much, you're on the radar for life and anything you say can be misconstrued. You'll be told to not criticize or disparage coworkers, even though they all criticize you constantly.
