Pros

Great collaboration and opportunity to grow. Decent benefits and work flexibility.

Cons

Little or no raises to go along with significant increases in goals each year. Almost guarantees majority won’t hit it. Turnover rate adds more pressure each year.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns - and most importantly for your commitment to Mercer for more than 10 years. As a global company, we work toward goals that represent the collective success of Mercer across all of our global locations. We are happy to hear that you have experienced opportunities to grow at Mercer and are enjoying the benefits and flexibility we offer to our colleagues. Regarding our goals and compensation, we strive to operate as One Mercer in everything we do. We always have room to improve, but we do place a great deal of value sharing our successes across our businesses. There are many factors that sit between the goals we set for our overall business and the goals that are set at an individual level – but one common theme prevails which is to reward our talent fairly and transparently. I encourage you to connect with your direct manager to gain a better understanding of our rewards processes if they are unclear. You can also send an email to ColleagueFeedback@Mercer.com to share further context on your questions and concerns. Thank you again for taking the time to provide this feedback.

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.
