Pros
- Some of the best people in the industry work here - Leverage in the marketplace - great financial results for clients - Lots of opportunities to move departments/offices (as long as you are OK being responsible for your own career path) - Global network
Cons
- Internally focused vs client focused (and yes, clients are noticing) - So many procedures, forms, processes that getting actual work done is difficult - especially at the Client Rep level - Morale at an all-time low (and it's been low for years) as Marsh changes systems/processes AGAIN - Many of the best people are also the lowest paid. Being a long-time employee guarantees you will not be paid the same as someone who is hired fresh at the same level. - Local management cannot get anything done without NY approval - Continually claim that people are the best asset of the company but employees are overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated (and if you are exempt expected to work overtime in order to be recognized; or if non-exempt looked down upon for not being able to get all your work done within an 8.5 hour day) - Diversity initiative is laughable as it's all surface talk - Middle Market at Marsh is especially challenging as Marsh does not value mid-size clients the same as the Fortune 500's or the people that work on them.
