Thank you writing this review. It is great to read that you enjoyed the flexibility and inclusive culture that we have, we work hard to create and maintain this. It is disappointing to hear that you believe our desire for diversity is negatively affecting our performance. We believe that diversity is key to use delivering the best solutions, and the best solutions are created through different perspectives and thinking.

Benefit Counselor

Pros

Assistance in becoming licensed and good benefits

Cons

Every department is outsourced and segmented making things confusing and complicated. Your coworkers will have access to all of your private information including your full name, address, date of birth, and full social security number - yes, seriously. The position felt more like data mining than helping people with their benefits. The job evolves into something totally different than advertised. Extremely high turnover and for a good reason.

Empty Promises

Pros

Working at Mercer does have great Perks! The office is located in a Prime Downtown location. They have great benefits, stock plans and pension fund, everything one needs to be able to reach a long term goals.

Cons

No training was provided although promised. ( several meeting regarding said promises) Was left to sink or swim. Never provided with the tools to succeed in my role. People Manager paid no attention to suggested ideas to improve processes. Technology (computers, printers) 100 % out of date. Complacent to old procedure and un-open to ideas that would maximize client and internal businesses. Regretfully, my Manager demonstrated on several occasions that they have no experiencing in being a team leader.
