Pros

There is very little Pro's about this company: * It did pay for me to get a qualification (even though it's only recognized in Australia and not NZ) *Due to complete lack of systems, everything is run through Excel which meant I got plenty of good experience with spreadsheets

Cons

Where to begin........ * Acute Staffing shortages in the 4 years I worked for them that they thought they could fix with 3 month fixed term contracts (Completely forgetting that we have to train them only for them to leave) * Terrible management at all levels, they seem to only hire incompetent managers who come in, want to put their stamp on things and then leave the practice in a worse state than it was when they came because they never bothered to listen to the staff and it all turns to custard. * Pay increases and bonuses are non-existent in the lower levels * Don't recognize hard working staff or reward them. They only seem to reward higher management who do none of the work. * No training plans in place at all for new staff or for career progression. Their greater good training is a joke. * Non existent HR - Seriously....no one can ever get ahold of them, let alone get a resolution to any grievances. * Expect to work 12 hour days just to try and keep on top of work. Low moral. * Senior management, HR management and CEO are all in bed together so you can't escalate any issues with senior people. * Finance department is awful. Regularly misplaced money against the wrong policies. Literally had to email them every single time a payment came in to make sure it got put in the right place. Spent hours doing their job and sorting out mistakes. Product of cost cutting. * Treat you as a number. Your dispensable no matter how much knowledge you bring to the company. Seem to make people redundant who have the knowledge and skills and keep the idiots who do no work. This company is all about cost cutting to the extreme, absolutely no vision or direction except "we've got to get more money than last year". If they don't meet new business targets, staff are cut to make up the costs.

Pros

Great resources, very talented people, exposure to great clients. Brand name in the industry and the opportunity to work on significant projects.

Cons

A 9 to 5 culture, lots of legacy employees, very disparate levels of talent. No compensation transparency, the office is too small for personal growth

Pros

I think the people at Marsh are great. It's generally a good environment where people work hard but have a sense of humor and are socially fun.

Cons

The salaries seem average at best. Definitely not known to be high payers. Try to get in at a high salary because even the merit raises are weak.
