Pros

What I value the most about working at Monks is the people. The team is collaborative, supportive, and genuinely interested in growing together. You also feel encouraged to develop your career in the direction you want—there’s space to explore and support along the way.

Cons

One area that could be improved is salary transparency. There’s no publicly available documentation that outlines salary bands based on seniority, which makes it difficult to understand if you're being compensated fairly. Promotions and salary adjustments can feel unclear, as they’re often based on your current salary rather than a defined band for your new role. This lack of visibility can make career growth feel more complicated than it should be.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
