Pros

Mercer provides a strong support network for professional development and career advancement. The people are wonderful to work with and the firm has a very entreprenuerial feel. This is a great place to be to become a benefits specialist. As a leader in the HR consulting arena, the Mercer name opens many doors and gives tremendous credibility to your expertise.

Cons

The firm is large and segmented. Trying to work across businesses can be difficult which limits the availability of broad experiences. The practices are all very different.

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
