Pros

Mercer is one of the top human resource consulting companies in the world. Anywhere you want your career to go, Mercer can offer you a path. It is also a very progressive company, supporting and advancing many facets of diversity, including religious, gender, ethnic, LGBT, and military.

Cons

In recent years, Mercer has reduced the amount of raises and bonuses offered to employees at the lower levels. This has led to a pattern of hiring excellent employees, spending thousands training them, getting six to eighteen months of high quality work, only to see them leave after a year or two to take a position where they are making more money with less stress.

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
