Delhi, NY

Former Employee – worked at Marsh full-time for more than 7 years

ProsFreedom to work is a great asset. I would love to go back if they improve the compensation policy. One place where age is not a criterion for responsibility.

ConsWhimsical, very driven by one person's whim, more than merit, fitmant is regarded and awareded. Boot lickers tend to get better deals here too.

Advice to Senior ManagementProfessionalism

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
