Pros

Only the fact that you can work from home

Cons

I worked at Monks for almost three years, during which I consistently gave my best as a professional. However, over time it became clear that there were no real opportunities for growth within the company. Despite my ongoing commitment, I never received a promotion or a salary adjustment, and there was a significant pay gap between employees with similar responsibilities. I also raised concerns about how the workload and work environment were affecting my mental health, but I was told to prioritize the client above my own well-being. That lack of empathy and support toward employees eventually drained my motivation and trust in the organization. Monks has strong potential as a company, but it needs to improve internal management, ensure fair growth opportunities, and truly listen to its teams if it wants to retain talent and foster a healthy work culture.

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.
