Corporate out of touch with work being performed - Anonymous employee Marsh Employee Review

Performance reviews are on a curve so not all high performing employees will be rated as such. Even with an exceptional rating you cannot assume you will receive a raise. Good performers have gone 6+ years with no increase. Opportunities to advance are low to none in the smaller offices unless you want to move to a major city. Job are often posted to the public (with outsiders hired) before it is posted on the company website, opportunities are not posted in the office. Work Life Balance is difficult. Workloads are high and overtime is not allowed for non-exempt staff as Marsh feels the work loads are doable. If you care about your clients, your choice is to work without getting paid or live in a constant state of stress knowing you are getting farther and farther behind. Non-exempt employees are often pressured to work when on vacation or home sick. Exempt employees often work 60-70 hours a week, and again working when home sick or on personal vacations. Absolutely no training for new staff, non-self starters need not apply. Moving towards open concept office space. This may be great for think tanks, but for the detailed work handled by the front lines, this set-up will reduce productivity and increase mistakes.
