Pros

Executives really do take the time to get to know you and treat you with respect. That’s about it.

Cons

This wealth management firm is acquiring smaller firms at a pace it can’t keep up with. Mercer Advisors may talk a good talk to the owners of these firms they are acquiring, but it’s a mess. Many departments are constantly overworked with projects just trying to keep up. It gets exhausting. They refuse to give reasonable salary increases to their tenured employees, lay off employees from newly acquired firms to cut costs. The kicker is, they bring in new employees making a dramatically larger salary than someone who has been with the company for years.

Pros

The team is made up of many talented and driven professionals who are sharp, collaborative, and willing to work hard to support one another. The flexibility of remote work can also be a valuable benefit at times.

Cons

Advancement on the team appears to depend heavily on building a strong relationship with the Vice President and consistently working extended hours, often in the range of 60–70 hours per week. Those who are unable to maintain that workload may find their career progression limited. The team has also recently implemented capacity metrics to closely monitor daily productivity and task allocation. The environment may be better suited to professionals who are comfortable prioritizing work demands, as much of the management team is relatively early in their careers and may have different perspectives on work–life balance. Additionally, candidates holding designations such as CFA, CFP, or an MBA should be aware that this role is primarily operations- and processing-focused rather than investment consulting. Mercer’s dedicated investment consulting responsibilities are handled within a separate department known as Strategist.
