Pros

Mercer is a large company with lots of plans. Lots of ideals and lots of areas of progression. None of that matters if you work in the call center.

Cons

Understaffed - currently only have around 10 agents handling the call volume of about 25agents. Staff are ignored and no support provided, exceopt the senior agents, CED and TMs who are great and always there. But the TMs can;t answer most things, the seniors and CED are used as agents so help when they can. Without them there would be no department. Mental health is taking a killing, so many people are off with stress, depression and anxiety. But no real assistance is provided. On return you get tossed back on the phones. We worked continuously throughout a pandemic open every day, 40+ calls queuing, over 1 hour wait times and we fough on. No thanks apart from the odd email. No bonus, even though management got theirs, not even a pay increase, which is already the around the lowest in the industry. No compensation at all, which is heart breaking.

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
