If you can get ANY other job, take it! - PSR Mercer Employee Review

Pros

Some cool people (but you get that almost anywhere).

Cons

There are no career opportunities. The pay is low, and even if you do get promoted, you get a 10% raise from that very low pay (and work way more than 10% harder). The health insurance is overpriced and they only match 401k contributions after you've been working there a year (the irony oozes). Working as a PSR is soul crushing and you are not given the tools to succeed. I've had more than a couple jobs over the years, and this was easily the worst. If you have an opportunity elsewhere, take it. Anyone who can read and count to 3 can do better. As a result, the only people left working there very long are under-educated, dense, or both.

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
