Pros

Flexible/part time working readily available, depth and breadth of resources, great colleagues and collegiate atmosphere, lots of autonomy coupled with great support.

Cons

Can be under-resourced at junior and admin level; in common with most big firms, multiple layers of hierarchy and cumbersome bureaucracy.

Pros

The experience is great and there is room for promotions within the first year and a half. Mercer has / had multiple lines of business and based on business needs, you may be assigned for special projects to broaden your knowledge in other departments. Position was based on KPI’s which are strategically attainable. Only reason I stayed with the company for my duration was the colleagues I met throughout the duration of my time. Benefits such as PTO / medical are generous. Corporate environment with a somewhat relaxed dress code. Role specific licensing is provided by the company. Company culture and diversity are overall good.

Cons

Contact center employees are undervalued and expendable. Management changes consistency. Communication severely lacks throughout all departments. - especially on time sensitive correspondence. Year end performance review is based on favoritism and not based on KPI’s as outlined. (KPI’s were at a 4 rating but received a 2 and when rebutting, was told that other factors were included in the rating that are not stated) Office politics / gossip is a thing. Promises that don’t get delivered. Position becomes immobile after some time. On boarding / terminating process is essentially non existent, so be prepared to get thrown to the wolves and make your own arrangements when leaving.

Pros

Good Compensation and good Variable Pay

Cons

There is no check on Leadership, they exploit and harass their team. There is no ethics in this company. Being HR consulting firm it should have one of the best HR policies but worst policies are there. Even if you try to raise your voice to higher management, it will go against you. I won't recommend anyone in Mercer especially in Finance.
