Mercer University is an ethical employer with integrity.

Pros

Very professional atmosphere, diverse population in workforce and student body

Cons

Compensation package not the best. I personally did not care for medical insurance plan, did not offer much coverage for anything and premiums were not economically priced. Also, some jobs at Mercer (not all) pay only once a month, this can be difficult for someone just securing employment, or for someone on a tight budget who needs a bi-weekly income.

Pretty good private institution.

Business Outlook

Pros

The faculty and staff get along well.

Cons

Very limited upward mobility because departments are very small. Moving up probably means moving outside of the institution. Additionally, the salaries are super low. I have a PhD and have been working there 7 years receiving EXCELLENT performance evaluations and I have yet to make $40k but the management has no problem asking you to serve on numerous advisory boards and volunteer for campus-wide events held after 5pm and on weekends.
