Pros

Okay benefits, because you’ll need it.

Cons

This company has had 2 profit warnings over the past 2 years, and after dealing with management I know precisely why. Simply put, they don’t know what they’re doing, so the work, culture, and individual people have suffered. Take the work, the work has suffered because this company is a disorganized mess, the one single P&L statement is a lie. They have separate systems for separate teams on separate accounts. All of whom are competing against one another. Integration has made progress, but it hasn’t been quick enough. Especially given that it's been almost 4 years. The chaos has created a fractious and toxic culture with some teams looking more like battle royales as opposed to cohesive units. Disrespect goes unchecked from the higher ups and in the end, the output suffers with accounts dropping or complaining about the work. This puts an immense amount of pressure on the individual employees who are stretched thin. And when they aren’t at capacity with a messed up system they are leaving or being fired for telling management about the issues. To be perfectly honest it wouldn’t surprise me if they sold the company. The future for Media.Monks does not look good, I would say it looks bleak. Don’t believe me take a look at the news about this place.

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.
