        Pros

        Your people manager is fun to work with - typically same personality and upbeat like you as a seller.

        Cons

        Horrible internal bullying.... If you are not the typical ones that have been there in the Houston office for 8+ years together, good luck - They will make it miserable for you. I wish clients/prospects would view these negative reviews prior to choosing a broker.... This team of "leaders" treats their own employees this way but preaches employee health and well-being to clients, just does not add up. I highly advise you look elsewhere if you think about coming to Mercer... You will save yourself one stressful year with a full INCOMPETENT team.

      I have an interview tomorrow where I get to ask questions to the interviewers. I usually ask questions like “how long have you worked here” “what’s your fav thing about working here” along with the obvious “what would be your expectations of me and how do you measure it” any other good ideas for questions?
