Pros

Some of the general staff are loveliest people. Very knowledgable and so hard working given the awful working environment.

Cons

The management are some of the worst people I've met in my life, let alone worked with. You were expected to perform at standards that are almost impossible to attain and when you get there you won't get any thanks. Management are of such poor quality that their lack of ability to people manage resorts in attempts to fear monger staff by shouting about them in earshot. So unprofessional that they don't even hide discussing mercer employees confidential personal information with clients (such as reasons for long term sick absence). It was such a shame as I was so excited to join the company and was more than let down. After just over half a year with the company they wanted me to give 3 months notice, even though I was a relatively inexperienced administrator!

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
