Merrill is okay...

Pros

Great co-workers, really good benefits (compared to others in the area).

Cons

Difficult to advance. The only way to advance is to be buddies with the hiring manager, which leads to horribly unqualified people being put into positions that they cannot handle (mainly management). Merrill "prides" itself on hiring within, but it's completely untrue. Recently there was a large lay-off (100+ people) and 2 job positions were opened under a different division. Instead of hiring perfectly qualified individuals, that applied for the positions, the manager filled both from outside the company. Office politics are the worst, so much drama and gossip from all levels. Way too much middle-management, leading to micro-managing of employees. My former manager sat on Facebook and shopped online all day, and took credit for the hard work that the rest of the team did. The new CEO has been selling off pieces of the core business for 2+ years....not sure what Merrill is anymore.

Pros

used to be a WFH, pay was acceptable

Cons

Unfortunately, it became evident that misconduct was often silenced, especially when it involved leadership figures, which created an unsafe and unethical environment. Salary increases were consistently withheld from those who were not part of the leadership circle. Interviews were conducted by employees rather than trained professionals, which often meant that highly qualified candidates were overlooked if they appeared more competent than the interviewer. A shift toward a control-focused culture was abruptly introduced by a single leader, and the C-level executives opted to support his approach without further assessment

Dysfunctional

Pros

Great people to work with. Learned a lot. Built great relationships. High turnover meant my network grew substantially while at this company (both a pro and con).

Cons

Dysfunctional management. Employees in constant state of flux. Company (as of late) is incredibly unstable feeling from an employee perspective. Beware all the job openings. There is a reason for that. Most longer-term employees just hoping for a severance package at this point. Good luck moving up if you're not in the old boys club.
