Great experience at Mercer

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

In my business group within Mercer, I experience a challenging, fun, fast-paced work environment. I have great flexibility in my work/life balance including opportunities to work from home, adjust my work-hours as necessary, etc. On the flip side, I work a lot - many hours - but it's work that I truly enjoy, so for me, it's great. My direct team and supervisor are outstanding and the whole experience has been great for me.

Cons

Other business groups within Mercer can be quite bureaucratic and "stiff". I do know a number of employees in those groups who are quite satisfied in that environment, but I wouldn't be.

Pros

Great place to learn, no egos. Busines overall is doing well, and is positioned very well into the future to dominate the space. Easy to take on responsiblities and many opportunities available to learn new skill sets.

Cons

Salary is way below competitors, and will hurt the long run ability of Mercer to keep top talent, in addition, compensation needs to be reworked to better compensate people based on their work. Work goes in cycles, can be very busy at times and sometimes not at all.

Good work/life balance - Strategy changes too often

Business Outlook

Pros

I love the flexible work schedule. As long as I get my work done there are no complaints about when I do it. I enjoy the collaborative relationships I have developed with my peers.

Cons

We often hear at the beginning of a year, "This is going to be a year of transition for us, but next year after these changes are in place things will get easier." It seems we are always changing course just before we cross the finish line.
