Pros

My co-workers were great. That's about all I can think of for the pros side.

Cons

Where do I begin? First, I question the few "good" recent reviews published on this site as being written by anyone other than management trying to get their score increased. I don't know of anyone in any position across the board who is happy there right now. Mercury used to be a good company to work for. In the past 2-3 years it's gone downhill fast. People are over worked, super stressed, unappreciated, underpaid and literally everyone hates being there. Upper management couldn't care less about their employees. The raises are laughable and the bonuses are less and less year after year. I've seen 3 major layoffs and only stayed as long as I did hoping to get laid off myself so I could get a nice severance and then be on my way. HC is a joke-- implementing huddle cards and high 5's as a way to reward adults--it's offensive. I send my condolences to George Joseph in regards to the way a company he worked hard to build has been run into the ground.

Pros

I have made some very good lifelong friends througout my years with the company.

Cons

Upper management doesn't care about their employees. Last year we went through a system change. The system was and still is slow and inefficient. The work load was and still is unmanageable. When employees expressed their concerns, they were told things would get better. Fast forward almost a year later and things have not gotten better. We have lost so many great employees due to the lack of empathy from upper management. They say "voice your concerns" "we cant change things unless you speak up." So when employees speak up about the unrealistic expectations and unmanageable work load upper management responds with "work faster and smarter." When employees speak up about wanting to get paid more or they will look elsewhere or accept a job elsewhere, we are told our salaries are in line with other companies. In comparison to other companies the pay is way below average unless you are a supervisor or in upper management. Good and loyal employees are not rewarded. There is no room for growth. They are not replacing people when they quit, they are just expecting the rest of their employees to do the work of 3 people for the same amount of money.

Pros

Holiday Bonus, close to home, good benefits. Coffee in break room , fun potlucks and quarterly luncheons. Support staff was helpful

Cons

I'm putting this in cons only because I was forced out ( which I was actively looking for a perfect way out anyways after 19 years because I wanted to work full time remote) the good side of my position being eliminated was I was finally ready to to move ! Mercury allowed me to work 13 years part time ... With benefits. But their choice to let the old dogs go with so much experience has given me so much opportunity. The training and reputation of being a knowledgable insurance professional really worked out. As soon as I started looking I had multiple job offers... I gave notice within one week.
