Pros

If you are in the right area (i.e. London or New York) the opportunities for career progression are there, Otherwise things are limited. The support for professional qualifications is also pretty good. Our office gives free lunch (subsidized from pay).

Cons

Being in a regional office means terrible pay and opportunities. Currently there seems to be a financial squeeze (although this is not unusual for the sector) which means everything from stationery to bonuses are being cut drastically. Senior management can never see a project or idea through to completion, which has left a large number of highly paid people sitting around with nothing to do.

Pros

The company is great to work for when you need a flexible work schedule.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company still runs on the "Good Ole Boy" system. If you kiss up to the powers that be you will be promoted quickly. Otherwise, you might as well get comfortable in the position you hold until you decide to leave because there isn't a career ladder.

Pros

Well known throughout the insurance industry and working with many large important companies. Work employees hard and gives us a good work ethic. Great comradely amoung employees with each other and has a great support network.

Cons

Marsh has not made a profit in years. The new Marsh CEO is set to start another round of employment cuts (as he recently mentioned he knows exactly what the profit margin is going to be in 2010 and the only way to get there is an Increase in Revenue or a Cut in "Expenses")...already cut our tuition program significantly!
