Pros

The benefits were unheard of (good), until they changed them this past year. Remote working is nice. They pay you well if you prove yourself and work extremely hard. Day to day colleagues are good humans.

Cons

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.

People are fantastic and open to collaboration and learning about what others do. Remote work was great too.
