Pros

"Consulting" structure, exposure to industry

Cons

Working at Mercer is intensive, siloed work for mediocre comp. Offboarding experience was beyond terrible. I wasn't fired, but that would have been preferable to how this company and my team managed my departure. I would explore all other options before starting employment at any MMC brand. If you do get hired at Mercer, build an exit plan on day 1.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
