Pros

The incredible, talented, dedicated employees all BELOW the senior leadership levels. This is the very best aspect of Mercer and THE SOLE, SINGULAR reason most employees remain.

Cons

Somehow we have lost our way. It was at one time a great place to work. I'm unsure what has caused it. We apparently have been unable to internally develop and promote to senior leadership the talented employees we have and have had.

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
