Mercer reviews

- Lack of salary increases (they use the same business isn’t performing well mist years) - Poor management (particularly a lack of managers with the necessary soft skills). - Terrible work/life balance (and often incidences of people not getting their overtime). You get a laptop which puts staff under pressure to go home and work further. The tight budgets mean that staff are constantly under pressure to do extra hours and not charge for them. - Budget technical centre brings with it problems such as, little respect for their staff, very tight control over budgets and efficiency savings which leads to difficulty retaining mid-level staff (& therefore added strain on workloads and lack of an experienced workforce) Just in general I would hold out for a job where you can work good hours, where you will be respected as an employee, where you won’t be harassed every day by efficiency ratings and time charges and where you can be reasonably sure that if you work hard you will have room for progression and salary increases. You can do better than Mercer!!

Worked at Mercer for 7 years and got great reviews all 7 years but did NOT receive raises the last 3 years YET upper management always received great bonuses. I asked CEO in a general meeting if Admins could ever be a part of the bonus program they were rolling out. He didn't have an answer. Obviously, administrative professionals aren't viewed as important as other employees at Mercer.
