Pros

Mercury has some great employees who work very hard.

Cons

If, you want to work countless hours, work in an hostile work environment and have your job threatened on a weelky basis. Then Mercury may be the place for you. Management rules the Phoenix site with fear and intimidation. Andover talks a good game. However, that isn't happening in Phoenix. If, you calculate the hours put in.. You will quickly discover your are being taken advantage of. This is all in the name of greed. The staff is growing tired off 12 hour mandatory days. 6 days and 7 day a week work schedule. 3 employee engagement surveys over the last 3 years are all pretty much saying what started above. Don't believe all the positive posts on here about Mercury.. Management at every Mercury site is constantly requesting employees to post positive reviews. To offset the real employee sentiment at the Phoenix site and some of the other Mercury sites. In fact, there use to be 2 Glassdoor accounts. 1 for Andover and 1 for Phoenix. The Phoenix was removed in July 2018 to give Mercury a higher rating on Glassdoor..

Pros

from my experience there is good opportunity for upward mobility, and at this point in time our growth shows success and job security.

Cons

There should be more work from home opportunity in general but now more than ever given impending corona virus outbreaks. But more so in the winter when weather conditions are worse, and more people are sick in general. I with that mercury would have a more pro self-defense stance integrated in their workplace violence and weapons policies. They state in an active shooter situation employees can defend themselves, but do not allow law abiding and license holding employees to conceal carry.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with Mercury. We take your comments seriously and know the importance and timeliness of these comments require our direct and immediate response. As a global company whose employees’ well-being is a top priority, Mercury continually follows information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding the Coronavirus. Because our business requires a fair amount of employee travel, we have put a corporate plan in place to address health concerns and advise best practices, and we continue to monitor the latest developments and update our policy as needed. Because Law Enforcement and outside experts have recommended against creating armed response teams, we have implemented an active-shooter training program at select Mercury sites with plans to continue expanding the program. And because the most effective workplace violence prevention plan is one that is put in place long before trouble occurs, we also have an established workplace violence procedure. We know our employees need to understand what to do in an emergency and what Mercury’s response will be. We wholeheartedly believe in our company culture and values, which include a commitment to help and care for one another, and believe in the achievement of these ideals through teamwork, communication, and decisive execution.
