Pros

Outstanding team strengths, resources are amazing. You can find an expert in any area of coverage who is willing to help with a project.

Cons

Culture is pretty bad. There is no sense of team working at Marsh. There is no training program, so if you go in, you need to know what and how to do the job.

Good resources, insufficient pay

Pros

Benefits are fair, good education support, good training program, supportive of flexible schedules and family considerations.

Cons

Pay is low and the longer you work at Marsh the further behind your peers at other companies you get. Support staff cuts mean very long hours. The only way to get a decent raise is to threaten to leave, it seems. Complicated and redundant work systems.

It’s always good to hear when a colleague feels that they can integrate their professional and personal goals together. We’re always looking for ways to make that integration stronger. We’ve gotten feedback about more clarity around career paths. We hear you and we’re working to better equip our managers to have meaningful, continuous conversations with colleagues and also build new tools that provide greater transparency and insight.

Pros

Lot of experience. Good for the resume. Permanent training. Many opportunities. Good technology. Get to meet a lot of people

Cons

Competitive environment. Awful offices. Non well paid. Not enough recognition. Not a place for a long term career. Sometimes you need to stay longer than the close of business

Pros

-Great exposure to the insurance industry as a whole -Smart colleagues, good mentorship opportunities -Older population, upside potential for younger employees -Exposure to multinational corporations -Great training ground

Cons

-You do not increase your pay without moving back and for between insurance brokers and/or underwriters -Management within each department does not have the ability to pay their younger employees at a market rate -Pay structure and promotion structure is very regimented (i.e. as an entry level associate, you cannot be promoted to an assistance vice president until you work at the company for X number of years). All of this seems to be dictated to each department from executive management

Pros

Pay that's more than minimum wage or working retail

Cons

Outdated computer software and systems, team under staffed, frequent turn over, constantly prioritizing work to meet the most urgent deadlines, training for new hires is inadequate. Attendance rules are strict. Budget only allows for four or five people on a 15 member team to hold above entry level positions.

Very Good Company

Pros

I work in the Austin, TX office. The training is really good, the benefits are great, the people are really good to work with. I also like that the company sponsors many efforts for good causes. We are also very focused on process improvement so I like that I have an opportunity to work in that area.

Cons

I would say upper management decision making from corporate. It would be good to be more timely with decisions even if it is a no response.
