Pros
Decent salary, sales bonuses are good, great client list, theoretical prestige of working at "Marsh" and the fancy titles, expense accounts for fancy dinners, limos and hotels to support the company image.
Cons
Except for MD, titles are worthless in reality. Unless you are CE, access to the clients is almost impossible if your job involves trying to talk with clients about anything other than old fashioned P&C placement. Everything is all about revenue - if you don't believe that, then you have have been there less than 2 years. Too many initiatives launched by NY. Geographic structure conflicts with national servicing of clients. Each day brings a new fight over accounting and who should get credit for revenue, sales, client service. Internal Marsh needs are generally placed ahead of servicing clients. Support staff has been cut too far over the past years so remaining staff are far too overloaded to really provide quality client service.
