Great team of people to work with
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Seattle, WA –
Pros: great people and benefits
Cons: n/a
Great team of people to work with. Strong sense of camaraderie amongst colleagues.

Managers were very understanding and understood what "constructive" criticism is.

Great place to work
Health & Benefits/Pension Rep (Current Employee), Deerfield, IL –
Pros: friendly co-workers
Cons: commute was far
Good work environment. Learned a lot about pension benefits and increased my customer service skills as well. Also was able to utilize the administration background of health care and add that skill set with clinical experience.

Typical workplace
Pension Analyst (Former Employee), Toronto, ON –
AGF provides the cliche workplace environment with little embellishments. Its a warm and favorable place and its generic environment is soothing.

Small business in a big market
CSR (Former Employee), Deerfield, IL –
Cons: management is a joke
Mercer is clearly outclassed by Aon Hewitt. There call center set up is very tiny and there equipment and resources are subpar. They are trying to play catch up to aon hewitt but has ways to go as there software and equipment are outdated by todays standards.

Good to learn the business but not to stay for long
Associate (Current Employee), Illinois –
Pros: decent benefits, tuition reimbursement in some units of the company, good location, not the absolute worst company you could work for, i've had worse.
Cons: company still has some growing up to do, technology still uses microsoft 2003 in 2012, loudest manager usually gets their way, very much need to stop hiring people from hewitt
See pros and cons - I spent over 6 years with Mercer and don't have a lot to show for that loyalty. I gained experience of course but the management there needs to understand that you have to let people do their jobs and not micromanage. This is a huge problem at Mercer in many different parts. The company feels outdated but some good people actually – more...  do care about the clients and plan participants. However, managers sometimes are alarmingly under trained or just do not have a good personality which should immediately make them targets for upper management to train better or remove for better people managers. – less

Great experience at the expense of having a no life outside of work
Compensation Analyst (Former Employee), San Francisco –
Pros: great work experience
Cons: no work-life balance
Mercer provides you with a fabulous foundation for work in the area of compensation and benefits. However, billable hours, and only billable hours, are the priority at Mercer. Analysts are underpaid and overworked. Generally speaking, this is how consulting firms work. However, in conversations with colleagues at the other big HR consulting firms, Mercer – more...  is by far the toughest to work for. – less
