Pros

Some of the teams are tight knit and there’s definitely some kind people working at Monks.

Cons

Salaries are absolutely comical. Sales process and -strategy are non existent, sales strategy is “yes” which leads to burnouts, reckless decision making and horrible expectation management and delivery quality. Pressure on executing teams is high, and ownership and getting care and support is nowhere to be found. Leadership is an absolute joke.

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
