Monks reviews

Understaffing is an understatement. Production is expected to do four times the amount of work and carry the weight of many departments, including account, even though account has three times the amount of people. Monks is constantly getting in their own way and making their own processes harder on themselves. Working 18 hour days is not enough, if things don't get done, there are still fingers pointed and it's an overall toxic environment where nothing is good enough. Leadership constantly contradicts itself. Refuses to teach their employees about AI but pushes the teams to sell it in. Leaderhsip is constantly investing dollars into projects. Production continues to remind account that the agency should be making money. I have not seen a clear vision or mission statement.

Financially in dire straits. Constant layoffs. Constantly missing projections and disappointing the market. Constant cost cutting measures replace strong team members with cheaper, less effective team members. Leadership is bloated, ineffective, never accepts responsibility for the failing state of the company and takes credit for others' work. And they terminate people "for cause" just to avoid paying severance.
