Pros
Was a really great place to work once upon a time, however there are only a few attributes left worth mentioning: - A lot of really cool, smart people outside of executive mgmt. - Benefits, work-from-home in some roles - Marsh-owned - you reap the benefits of working for a mega multi-national company - Some investment in the products/people but need a lot more
Cons
A lot of talk about becoming a multi-billion dollar organization, but there are dozens of issues that need to be addressed before this might even be possible yet probable: - New leadership team (again) who doesn't really know anything about the industries served and who do not have a true stake in the game (they will all be gone within 2-3 years with a golden parachute and new resume line item). Colleagues do not respect them nor feel positively led by them. - Marsh is the ultimate Big Brother - creativity and innovation in stifled by them if it doesn't fit what they want STARS for. Will be an operating unit within Marsh in a matter of time, as opposed to a stand-alone company. - Compensation is very low, including bonuses, sales incentives, etc. - Huge attrition rate - more than 25% - so 1 in every 4 employees will leave the company this year. People not placed in the appropriate roles that fit their knowledge/talent; some roles continue to be filled by completely unqualified resources. Also, not hiring at a clip fast enough to replace the lost colleagues and address the growth the leadership speaks of - Growth is less than organic - mostly cost/expense management versus true new growth
