Too many changes; Lack direction

Health and benefits consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility is good but must work weekends and evenings to stay ahead.

Cons

So many changes that it's impossible to even keep up any longer. Don't seem valued as an employee; just an employee number. Low morale. Used to be a wonderful place to work where everyone seemed valued and actually enjoyed their jobs.

Wrong place to start an actuarial career

Actuarial analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Actuarial study and compensation program is average

Cons

if you're an actuarial analyst, be prepared to be assigned to an overwhelming amount of clients where your skills are never used (Apparently, other Mercer locations actually have actuaries do actuarial work and their employees are happy).
