Pros

The best reason to work at Mercer is because of the other people who work at Mercer! They are smart people who are extremely dedicated to helping their clients to be successful.

Cons

Senior management is a big mystery. The CEO never communicates to anyone (because she should be the CFO not the CEO). Many of the long-service people have left or have been fired. They are taking us on a journey somewhere, but they haven't told us where we're going. Not as much fun as it used to be.

Not recommended for people who respect family values or people who want to move up, be respected or acknowledged.

Pros

The compensation is pretty good. The social committee works hard to encourage interaction with the employees around holidays and once in the summer.

Cons

Poor management choices, lack in praise to hard working employees, generally expected to work very long hours. My choice to go to school was not encouraged, but discouraged by several managers. Several people keep leaving and management takes its time to start the hiring process leaving our already short staffed group to struggle more. HR department is virtually non-existent. Groups working in different states often have serious differences cause friction between states.
