      I Look Forward To Going To Work - Digital Marketing Manager Monks Employee Review

      Pros

      I’ve worked in Digital Marketing for a while, so I have a lot of jobs to compare this to. Firewood’s embedded model is pure genius. The client treats me like I’m part of the team, and then Firewood has my back with negotiating everything and supporting me with ongoing training, providing me with a really great manager, and the co-workers are all super nice and approachable. The benefits are also the best I’ve experienced anywhere. I feel like that really says a lot about how you value your employees. Juan and Lanya (founders) are genuinely nice people and you can tell they are deeply concerned with the wellbeing of their employees. It trickles down through all levels of employees.

      Cons

      Onboarding was a wild ride. This is the only con of the embed model. Since I’m mostly on-site with the client, it’s more difficult to arrange time with my Firewood people to ask questions, and it’s awkward to rely on the client for training. People are in the Firewood office on different days so connecting with co-workers is difficult. HR sends out a survey for new hires so I’m confident they are already aware.

      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.
