Pros

Other than the fact that my job meant I was done by 10am... Nothing!

Cons

No training Bad pay The manager was the worst manager I have ever experienced. They have no people skills whatsoever, they would publically try and embarrass you in front of everyone else and they were not subtle with who their favourites were and who they weren't... Also a 3 month notice period is ridiculous, they do it so people can't leave. 0 Progression, there were people who had been there for 6 years and the only step up they had was to check the work of everyone else. And they definitely didn't get a decent pay rise.

Pros

-I constantly met such nice, charming and intelligent people in Mercer, it's definitely the reason that makes you want to stay -AMAZING pension, Mercer contributes SO much to your pot -fantastic benefits (health care, gadget insurance, etc) plus sailing weekends throughout the summer, brilliant! -quarterly team events/nights out plus the inevitable xmas do in the city, always an impressive venue -management do everything by the book, they really care about their teams and will be very fair in any situation you may bring up -majority are genuine trustworthy people. Decent people! -highly professional -very supportive of work/life balance

Cons

-really tight when it comes to salaries and investment. -Deluded by thinking they're keeping up with 21st century digital trends. They don't know what they are doing in this area and really need to consider investing in talented people in the right fields to get them up to speed -typical corporate with too many management layers, this results in the simplest of things taking too long to be decided and turned around -HR department incredibly slow in pretty much everything they do
