Business outlook
Pros
The senior members of the team are very nice and willing to work/teach junior staff. Overall a pleasant work environment. Company has a "promote from within" policy; easy to stay with Mercer for your entire career if you want steady work and average pay. Senior management is competent and I have confidence in their abilities.
Cons
Pay is awful. Expect to work long hours and make significantly less than your peers. Vacation policy is terrible. Expect 2 weeks of vacation for the first 2-3 years at Mercer (junior staff) while you are expected to work late in the night many times during the year. Not a place one goes to make significant compensation.
