      Pros

      I cannot think of a single one. If you like working at a woke, relentlessly far-left company (MMC) that capitalizes "Black" and lowercases "white" (in case you missed the point, there is literally a black-only "Race Council" and a scholarship and internship program ONLY for black students (illegal?)...and the company BRAGS about discriminating against other kids!) then maybe this is the place for you. I've been at this firm a LONG time and the violent leftward shift in the culture has been jarring. Used to be your views were your own business. Now you have to worship at the woke altar.

      Cons

      Marsh McLennan is undergoing a massive, hugely disorganized reorganization. Mercer is now effectively an empty shell: it is a brand, nothing more, with Marsh, an insurance broker, running the show. You see, MMC posted record profits, so the genius-level "leadership" decided it was time for a change that involved stealth layoffs decimating Mercer. An HR consultant that can't lay off its people fast enough. At least my MMC stock is going up as a result.

      Terrible Company

      Plan administration - senior analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      REALLY easy job, just keep to yourself.

      Cons

      Management picks favorites not based on job performance. Reviews are completely subjective. Management is completely useless and does not help resolve employee or client issues. Senior management promotes who has the most seniority, not who is best for the job, so that results in really weak management. It is extremely hard to move up in the company. They will hire people with no degree for jobs higher than yours but will not promote people with masters degrees. WORST management I have EVER experience in ANY company I have EVER worked for!
