Pros

Outstanding team strengths, resources are amazing. You can find an expert in any area of coverage who is willing to help with a project.

Cons

Culture is pretty bad. There is no sense of team working at Marsh. There is no training program, so if you go in, you need to know what and how to do the job.

Pros

In the large accounts area (risk management), clients are some of the premier companies of our time; insight into many different types of businesses; generally clients also good people and enjoyable to work with; lots of smart and interesting colleagues, most of whom are team players and willing to share experience and give technical advice in their areas; lots of opportunity for creative problem solving; insurance a people business, relationships and reputation matter so worthwhile to build 'your brand'; some great analytic models and tools; company defined benefit pension still exists, decent 401k,

Cons

Current large wave of retirements creating 'brain drain' and burdening the staff who remain; years of insufficient development and recruitment of next level, so lots of green staff with a huge experience gap; creating potential burn out of senior staff who often don't get rewarded much in annual raises or bonuses; poorly thought out technology decisions and less than stellar information management tools an annoying burden; stock purchase plan not exciting, no real opportunity for equity awards
