Mercer reviews

There is absolutely no communication from Supervisors. They do nothing to enhance the benefit counselors performance. If questions are asked by anyone in a meeting you are quickly shutdown. If a problem did come up and supervisors say that they will look into it, they never do. Same problem exists the next day and someone would bring it up again and they are shutdown. Eventually, co-workers just give up asking and continue what they may have been doing, even if its wrong. By reading other reviews here on Glassdoor, I see that Mercer responds saying they will look into it, but obviously they are not because the same complaints as other reviewers have mention, still exist.

Compensation is well below market rate, and isn't based on merit. Mercer has a tendency to retain people that are known low performers, while the extra workload is transferred to peers. There's an obvious imbalance in workloads, yet compensation doesn't reflect that as low performers are rewarded on the same basis as high performers.
