Vantaggi
Great benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision) - multiple options, decent co-pays and deductibles; Good management (competent, technical, and usually only 1 direct manager per team); Strong company, appears to be doing well winning business; And some good people to work with - when they can keep people
Svantaggi
Very underpaid, various people confirm we are at least 10K-15K under the standard on most salary surveys; Elusive pay scales - they do NOT want you to find out where you are in your pay scale; They find any reason limit bonuses, and have been milking the "the economy" reason; Proprietary software - few, if any, transferable skills; NOTICEABLE retention issues - Mercer has an obvious problem with attrition! Younger employees (Mid 30s-) leave usually within 1.5 years or less. Mercer is obviously in denial that they need to PAY well to retain staff (especially strong staff).; India - many jobs are being sent to cheaper Indian workers, further crippling the American economy; Onshore, they have recently been experimenting heavily at doing more with less staff at the same pay.
