Pros

Ability to work from home

Cons

When you walk into a Mercer office, the first thing you'll notice is everyone is staring at their computer screens within their respective cubes. You could easily hear a pin drop. Within my former practice, there was minimal interaction and collaboration. My supervisor was virtually never there. I saw him roughly 5 times during my 2 years at the firm - mostly just for performance reviews. I found it odd that someone who never really saw me in my work setting was leading my performance reviews. With his minimal presence, I also received minimal support when I needed it. The "culture" is inexistent, however, the toxicity of the office place is very prevalent. Since there is minimal support and collaboration, everyone essentially watches out for themselves.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
