Pros

Marsh is the biggest broker in the world and provides access to top-notch industry and risk experts. It is a great firm to learn about the brokerage industry. Colleagues all seem to really care about their clients. Very competitive benefits.

Cons

It can be hard to differentiate yourself in such a bureaucratic organization. Salaries in the industry are quite stagnant and Marsh is no exception to this trend.

problems with work/life balance

Business Outlook

Pros

good benefits - though company in the process of downgrading them - particularly the pension

Cons

issue with work/life balance - staff numbers kept very lean - will not get you help unless you really start dropping the ball and miss deadlines that affect management - so reward bad performance. if you put in overtime and get the job done, then the job is getting done, you don't need help - keep doing the overtime. Only problem ... this leads to burn outs .. and then management asks why?

Solid insurance brokerage job with market leader; excellent growth opportunities for those who work hard

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work environment. Fair management (i.e., not micromanaged). Decent benefits. Time off is generous. Most colleagues are willing to collaborate in a way that allows one to thrive and grow.

Cons

Pay could be better aligned with the industry. Some "old school" mentality where workers feel threatened by active and hungry talent. More mentoring of younger associates needed.
