Pros

Good co-workers, central location, holiday bonus, good PTO accrual, decent benefits and decent pay. Depending on your training location and trainer, you will learn a lot. Free coffee. Break room with amenities. Free Wifi. Casual wear. Flexible schedule every other week (work four extra hours four out of five days and have half a day).

Cons

When I first started, this seemed like a great company to grow your roots in. Now, though, there is too high a workload, unrealistic goals and no incentives. If you don't keep an open mind or are not flexible, then you will not do well here. The work cannot be completed within a 40 hour week. While overtime is great, some of us actually have families to spend time with. Too many claims system, which are flawed and slow, yet you are expected to perform well. Nepotistic environment. If you are on the favorable side, expect growth. If you are not, expect to stay where you are until you are forced out.

Pros

Co-workers are great and act as a support net for when you want to jump.

Cons

Even though HC tells you to come to them with issues, what they really mean is they have an obligation to bring that information to your manager. So you will be blacklisted and looked at as a troublemaker. Yet another round of layoffs. At least the executives started chipping away at salaried managers and supervisors. There are still some people who made it through but it's a start. Streamlining is important but burning out the survivors is just stupid. Mercury preaches that all of our success is due to our employees but as soon as the shareholders, execs, and the over compensated board wants more money they have these layoffs. It TOTALLY affects morale. Nobody is going to their manager or HC and telling them that they feel stressed and like they are under a microscope to be terminated next. But the reality is everyone is scared for their jobs. Nobody is safe at Mercury. If you are thinking about joining this team, think again. I saw a lot of good employees get laid off on Friday, April 29th, 2016. The employees came to work thinking nothing was wrong, everything is good, it's Friday, yay yay. Then they're called in and told their position is no longer required. This is the third insurance company I am working for in my career. I thought the grass was greener here. OMG! This place sucks the worst!!
