Marsh & McLennan Reviews

Pros

they treat people baddly so they are forced to pay better than average wages. I would rather take a much lower paying job than stay there, which is what I did.

Cons

Management is horrible, no leadership at all.
You are a resource to be consumed then disposed of. I worked there for 2 years in that time my location had a turnover rate (voluntary) of ~ 40%

Advice to Senior Management

learn how to treat people with respect. we do not exist only to serve the company. there is no work life balance. managemant plays favorites all the time.

Pros

Insurance fundamentals, team work, benefits, interaction with numerous departments/functional areas. office politics--you'll learn how to avoid work! A training ground for the new graduate!

Cons

Lazy management who are much older and many who could not put together a PowerPoint slide or conduct a meeting.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to progress to the 21st century! All of their systems are at least 20 years old and no plans to modernize.

Pros

Lots of knowledge sharing
Good internal protocols
Responsible Management

Cons

* No transparency in pay. Seems other industries pay more
* Lots of Transparency and internal audit requirements - takes away from servicing clientele

Pros

Different Tasks for different companies. Good skills development program.

Cons

Not too challenging sometimes.
  Sales and advisoring go together, which is not good if ou are not confortable with one of those areas.

Advice to Senior Management

Encourage performance through better wages.

Pros

Flexible schedule

Very good benefits with modest co-pays and cost to employees.

Nice pension plan - if you work there long enough to get it

Cons

The company jumps from "initiative" to "initiative" with absolute abandon resulting in mixed messages to employees as well as clients.

Unfortunately, as has been widely reported, employee loyalty and track record of accomplishments is not valued much at Marsh. Todays performance is what matters above all else.

Management is often more concerned with keeping their own jobs and show an unfortunate inability to take risk.

Advice to Senior Management

Marsh is a wonderful legacy company. Try to keep in perspective what made Marsh great: its people. Sadly, your blind love of matrix analysis to determine performance speaks volumes about your inability to recognize innovation.

Pros

Fair growth opportunities, if the person applies themself and makes a point to do the job which is client service.

Cons

Some of the donsides are that you are a little fish in a big pond, this makes it a bit harder to be noticed.

Advice to Senior Management

Some advice would be to continue with the bonus and Salary pooll that has just started back up. This is helping the collegaue morale.

Pros

The pay is good. The people are nice, but the working environment sucks. I guess that's what you get for being an intern

Cons

The days were really long because they didn't really give you much to do. I basically sat at my computer making money. Kinda sweet, but it was sooooooooooo boring.

Advice to Senior Management

Please develop some sort of structured internship program. Give them an organized set of responsibilities. Promote interaction between the interns of the company.

A fairly ridgid management structure and philosophy.
