Monks reviews

- Lack of interdepartmental communications and overall lack of processes - So much disorganization - those who had nothing to do with the disorganization then have to work weekends in order to hit a made-up client deadline that ends up getting pushed by the client anyways. You're not comped for the weekend work either. - Unlimited PTO is a scam. You will be asked to work/join meetings on those days off and guilted if you do not. You have to create your own boundaries knowing their opinion of you will lessen - Unhealthy relationship with some clients, getting pushed around bc they can't have honest conversations with them and rely on their business to keep place afloat - The literal work created is pretty small potatoes and never worth the last minute running around teams to do make things happen - Overall, the place feels like it's being run by old school ad people who think being worked to the bone is a sign of pride when really we're just making low quality ads inefficiently. - People are going to start dropping like flies if company doesn't figure out how to stand up to clients and put "deadlines" into perspective in terms of how it affects their employees and their personal time.

Leaders sometimes seem to struggle with clear communications. Despite good intentions, corporate language can muddy the waters.
