Pros

Because of the company size there are a lot of opportunities within the company for advancement or career change. Speaking mainly for the Information Technology related fields, the company tries to promote from within. There is also a very competitive benefits package, including Medical, Dental, Vision, and Retirement options.

Cons

Depending upon the team with which you work, there is little recognition for hard work, and in a lot of situations if you are a person that excels in your position, you may not get a promotion or may be delayed in getting a promotion, because they "Can't afford to lose you" in your current position.

Pros

Excellent resources. Talented, knowlegable staff.

Cons

Senior management is like a bunch of whores, living off the talent and labor of others. They are highly compensated for doing what? Running the company deeper into the ground. They do not respect their workforce and their attitude shows in everything they do.

Pros

Diversity of work and great colleagues. Marsh & McLennan truly has some of the brightest employees with brilliant capabilities and skill sets. In the day to day activities of work, these is rarely a time when I need some advise or a questions answered that somone doesn't have the answer for. It truly is THE BEST broker and truly offers its clients the broadest array of services and solutions. I am allowed much flexibility in doing my job and, when needed, time off to attend to the needs of my family. Work is varied and challenging and fun! I do like working for the company.

Cons

Poor communications relative to HR issues. Call this "constructive discontent! In the freedom mentioned above, many of us are left feeling like entrepreneurs - communications regarding performance reviews and salary increases are token - with a "big show" when done - and then little, if any discussion afterwards. Wouldn't you think a company as large as Marsh & McLennan would be able to do a better job at communication with it's employees about an area VERY important to each and every one? I believe we "miss the ball" here in this area and could generate much better performance amonst our employees if the company would do a better job at maintaining effective and sustainable lines of communication.
