Monks reviews

- very few people get raises, promotions, bonuses - constant layoffs - extremely bloated senior leadership teams who are constantly fighting/at odds politically - no clear vision from leadership - big talk about AI, which are really tools the rest of the public have access to - politics and in-fighting between agency teams that have been acquired - bad work/life balance

I worked at Monks for almost three years, during which I consistently gave my best as a professional. However, over time it became clear that there were no real opportunities for growth within the company. Despite my ongoing commitment, I never received a promotion or a salary adjustment, and there was a significant pay gap between employees with similar responsibilities. I also raised concerns about how the workload and work environment were affecting my mental health, but I was told to prioritize the client above my own well-being. That lack of empathy and support toward employees eventually drained my motivation and trust in the organization. Monks has strong potential as a company, but it needs to improve internal management, ensure fair growth opportunities, and truly listen to its teams if it wants to retain talent and foster a healthy work culture.
