Pros

Descent benefits. The work life balance has gotten better

Cons

Some smart people but also some real morons. No clear cut criteria for promotion/advancement, at least there is a criteria, but it is not followed at all. Double standards are rampant in this company and for some reason they reward failure by promoting those people up.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent co-workers. Good work tools. Good benefits package (but being whittled away. Good flexibility. Excellent training for junior people. A good place to start a career in HR management.

Cons

Leadership is unpredictable and very inwardly focused. Local management has little authority -- they are told what to do and do it whether they support the action or not. Employee programs are mostly window-dressing --- the real culture is to squeeze as much work out of employees as possible. Mercer employees are shoemaker's children. HR practices are opprossive and The HR Function is a joke.

Business Outlook

Pros

Most co-workers and managers have been okay to work with, people are friendly, benefits are okay. there does seem to be room for advancement if you are driven and if it's your goal to move up.

Cons

Raises are poor. Also, you have to be a certain level to get a bonus, it doesn't seem like they value the support staff. Communication is terrible - each office or department seems to work on their own and it's near impossible to figure out what everyone does or what resources are available. Very disorganized...
