Pros

Diversity of work and great colleagues. Marsh & McLennan truly has some of the brightest employees with brilliant capabilities and skill sets. In the day to day activities of work, these is rarely a time when I need some advise or a questions answered that somone doesn't have the answer for. It truly is THE BEST broker and truly offers its clients the broadest array of services and solutions. I am allowed much flexibility in doing my job and, when needed, time off to attend to the needs of my family. Work is varied and challenging and fun! I do like working for the company.

Cons

Poor communications relative to HR issues. Call this "constructive discontent! In the freedom mentioned above, many of us are left feeling like entrepreneurs - communications regarding performance reviews and salary increases are token - with a "big show" when done - and then little, if any discussion afterwards. Wouldn't you think a company as large as Marsh & McLennan would be able to do a better job at communication with it's employees about an area VERY important to each and every one? I believe we "miss the ball" here in this area and could generate much better performance amonst our employees if the company would do a better job at maintaining effective and sustainable lines of communication.

Pros

Knowledgeable colleagues, 401k matching, vacation time (front loaded)

Cons

A while after leaving I can say with full confidence this was one of the worst places I’ve ever worked. I regret not leaving sooner. The managers were not interested in advancing careers of their team and it was a consistent revolving door. It was really about how much work you can produce and continuously doing work outside of your scope without proper recognition or compensation. The benefits are not good and continued to get worse over time, the healthcare plans are terrible, you get a lot of leave but you can’t take it because you’re overloaded with work. You had career Marsher’s who had no idea how to talk to people. Don’t get me started on the pay and how it couldn’t even meet the standard of living. If you’re looking at working at marsh and you don’t look like the standard, RUN.
