Pros

Smart people; a lot of access to specialized information

Cons

If you don't fit into the Marsh mold, you will not be promoted. Marsh values sales people solely and will not promote those that work really hard for current clients. Environment is extremely political, so people that play that game will get ahead before anyone else has a chance. Also, local management is completely impotent. Decisions are made in NY, so if you do not have visibility there you will be overlooked. If you are a chosen employee, you are golden; if you're not, you will not advance at Marsh. The pay is abysmal so be sure you start at a level that you are comfortable with for the foreseeable future because Marsh has not given raises in years (with the exception of the top sales colleagues).
