      Great people, but ridiculously low compensation.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - A lot of incredibly talented, but friendly people to work with; - Minimal levels of office politics; - Good support for further studies; - Somewhat flexible work/life balance, depends on which department you work in; - Good opportunities to transfer to other departments;

      Cons

      - Low pay. Ridiculously low pay compared to competitors and other corporates. - Low benefits. Seriously, employees of other companies less well known than Mercer get more love than we do. Even retail banks pay more than Mercer. - Career progression. It's hard to progress in Mercer. It seems easier to just leave the company for two years and come back rather than stay for those two years in terms of getting a promotion.

      Not impressive

      Investment consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generally people in Mercer Wealth are accommodating and pleasant to work with, wealth colleagues have strong work ethic for the most part or at least willing to be helpful

      Cons

      Where do I begin. As of late, investment consultants are in essence being asked to grovel at clients' feet while somehow also meeting increased billable hour targets while simultaneously maximizing profitability on all clients. Leadership talking ad nauseum on revenue growth and client retention while providing absolutely no workplace perks, tracking badge swipes, comical annual 0 to 2% "merit" increases, no subsidized parking, and laptops and technology at the lowest end of the range. MMC health insurance options are garbage, plan to max out your HSA and just rely on that. Incompetent middle management bloat in the Wealth practice which delays decisionmaking and client service delivery and there is constant expectation of managing upwards engrained in the culture (i.e. having to do your own work and your manager's work as well). Extremely limited diversity above a certain point in the Mercer heirarchy.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pension and other benefit options, some very skilled consultants

      Cons

      Profit driven and little care for the staff 'get rid of them' quoted often by management
