I have been working at Marsh full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – N O T H I N G

Cons – CIO, Program Manager, IT operation lead, team leaders (except idiots) all resigned.

One day, 7 people were called into a meeting room and terminated by being given 10 mins to pack things and asked to leave the premises.

They think people are numbers and figures to be disposed/recycled by replacing with the cheap off-shore. Their aim is not to build the foundation by integrating people, but make the quarterly number look good by sacking people and cutting expenses. There are in the game of cost cutting by sacrificing people. They will see the result in 3 years.

Advice to Senior Management – Hopeless.

I have been working at Marsh

Pros – The chance to handle broad range of works give opportunities to grow if you are willing to invest time and work longer. The chance comes because Marsh put workloads of more than one person can handle so that to reduce the headcounts and expenses.

Cons – Marsh has no interest in knowledge transfer, improve employee, treat colleagues fairly. Good people have left and bad remain, then keep hiring wrong people. Classic pattern for an organization to collapse. There is no sense of responsibility and ethics.

Advice to Senior Management – No hope for improvement. Needs to hit the bottom to realize the reality.

I worked at Marsh full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Freedom to work is a great asset. I would love to go back if they improve the compensation policy. One place where age is not a criterion for responsibility.

Cons – Whimsical, very driven by one person's whim, more than merit, fitmant is regarded and awareded. Boot lickers tend to get better deals here too.

Advice to Senior Management – Professionalism

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Marsh full-time for less than a year

Pros – Very stable company. Good atmosphere, with a sincere non-assuming feeling.

Cons – Too much emphasis on metrics and the actual time taken to complete a task, in the use of Siebel time management program.

Advice to Senior Management – Put the emphasis back on what is actually accomplished daily by an employee and less on the metrics of the time it took to accomplish that task. Less micromanaging and more seeing the big picture would improve the bottom line of this company.

Hire a business consultant to troubleshoot your training program for the role of Certificate Specialist in order to find out the reason for the high turnover rate in the classroom/ work setting and how it is affecting your operations budget and company morale and reputation. Hire an experienced, articulate person specifically for the role of first point of contact for the Data Entry department, so the data entry specialists can concentrate fully on their job and a more professional impression of the company in general will be experienced by clients and customers calling in.
