Pros

Generally people in Mercer Wealth are accommodating and pleasant to work with, wealth colleagues have strong work ethic for the most part or at least willing to be helpful

Cons

Where do I begin. As of late, investment consultants are in essence being asked to grovel at clients' feet while somehow also meeting increased billable hour targets while simultaneously maximizing profitability on all clients. Leadership talking ad nauseum on revenue growth and client retention while providing absolutely no workplace perks, tracking badge swipes, comical annual 0 to 2% "merit" increases, no subsidized parking, and laptops and technology at the lowest end of the range. MMC health insurance options are garbage, plan to max out your HSA and just rely on that. Incompetent middle management bloat in the Wealth practice which delays decisionmaking and client service delivery and there is constant expectation of managing upwards engrained in the culture (i.e. having to do your own work and your manager's work as well). Extremely limited diversity above a certain point in the Mercer heirarchy.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
