Large corporate environment, individual experience can vary significantly depending on manager, geography and department
Pros
- Great work life balance and work flexibility in US. Hybrid office culture with many roles still fully remote. Official policy of 2-3 days in office not strictly enforced and depends on individual teams. Company explicitly encourages leaving early before long weekends. - Strong vacation and sick leave policy in US. 27 days PTO + 10 days sick. - Most coworkers are great, this industry does not attract certain toxic personality types. - Company does promote people frequently and create new roles for high achieving employees, at least in my department.
Cons
- Pay is not competitive, especially for some roles based in high cost of living areas. However, this is the trade-off for the pros noted above. - Fairly high turnover due to large corporate environment where some people may hit a ceiling more quickly than others. In my short time with the company, I have seen people leave for better pay elsewhere even right after being promoted at Marsh. - Expensive insurance, 401k matching only after 1 full year of service, which is not competitive.
