Pros

Mercer provides very good growth opportunities, but you have to be proactive in grabbing them. The senior consultants are very proffesionalism and most are patient and great teachers. The leadership at local office has ups and downs, but recently (2008-2009), the leadership has really turned around for the positive.

Cons

Expect very long, unpredictable hours. There is very high pressure and stress related to client work and revenue pressures. Clients can be very demanding - but that is the business we're in.
