      Underpaid and overworked

      Pros

      After endless rounds of layoff, there are still some talented and cool people left. Cool client projects to work on.

      Cons

      Monks pay below market rate and the annual raise/promotion doesn’t even come close to cover inflation. There has been freeze on raise and promotion in the midst of endless rounds of layoffs. Very toxic environment created by the upper management. Employees are over worked because so many layoffs, and still underpaid and not being valued. Most people feel drained, stressed, not appreciated at work while still putting their best foot forward trying to meet demanding deadlines. But management hasn’t done anything concrete to show appreciation to their employees - just be glad you haven’t been laid off yet.

      The bullsht inter-fighting. The chaotic organization, lack of clarity around what we're doing? Low pay, and pressure to win new business.

      Pros

      Heathcare and experience are the main pros

      Cons

      Long working hours No bonuses Layoffs No help Tons of responsibility Stress oh so much stress You’ll never get to use your pto 18 month’s minimum before you can qualify for a raise then you have to wait 6 months for it to kick in Management only wants to hear yes I’ll work more hours I’ve been at 2 other agencies and this was by far the most disorganized, chaotic and stressful.
