Pros

Media Monks has a hand in a lot of great industries, has huge ambition and lots of talent and cash coming in the door. Great people as far as diversity, talent, enriching activities and such for the staff.

Cons

They are growing so much that the film production wing feels scattered and disorganized. There needs to be more clear direction and a stronger sense of identity. They are trying to get into original content, animated television but they're still an ad agency and internal production house. They're having an identity crisis and haven't hired the right people to swim out of the river.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
