Pros

Very nice building Up to date programs Can choose between Mac and PC Other employees are generally friendly Weekly paychecks

Cons

"Entry-Level" job, but degree is needed Low pay/salary Some management doesn't quite know how to talk to other employees Management plays favors Family business but tells you there's "a lot of potential to advance" No Art Directors or anything of the sort (No one to give clear direction) Essentially they pray on desperate college graduates looking to start their careers. Go for it if you think your degree is worth about $12 an hour or $25,000 salary.

We thank you for the positive notes that you left about Media Monkey. Unfortunately, you have also made some inaccurate comments about Media Monkey that I feel need to be addressed. As you mentioned in your review you had an entry level position and you thought that your salary was low because of this. Typically within the first 2-3 months of working with Media Monkey we will make sure that the individual’s pay is reflecting their abilities accordingly. An entry level job is the first job that a new graduate takes, upon graduating from college/University and is typically lower paying due to lack of working experience when compared to a position for an individual that has real world experience. The evolution from entry level to experienced is when the candidate has gained some level of experience in the chosen field or profession beyond graduation and shows they are capable of handling additional responsibilities. In the case of an entry position for graphic designer a degree is not required but some form of formal education is favorable. It is true that Media Monkey is a family owned business, but Media Monkey continues to grow. We have always encouraged our employees to strive for their best and grow with the company. We have had many employees that have grown from their starting positions to management and upper management roles. We have had our current Director of Creative working with us for close to 4 years now. She was the person that you were originally introduced to as your go to for questions, suggestions, etc. and that assigned you tasks. As for your concern about formal training, we do not throw a new employee to the wolves. A graphic designer’s training and shadowing typically lasts 3-4 weeks. Your accusation of no formal training leads me to believe that you chose to leave Media Monkey before completing the training program. I am sorry that you did not enjoy your time at Media Monkey. I do wish you best of luck with your future career.

Pros

New Building Friendly Co-workers Very clean Large cubes are more like private offices Mac or PC Up to date tools and software

Cons

I honestly can not think of one thing that is the fault of Media Monkey. Sometime the clients can make the job stressful but since when haven't customers caused some level of stress.

Pros

I am a full time teacher, but to help make ends meet I work part time at Media Monkey. The facilities are neat, clean and modern and I always enjoy working there to help pack out advertising kits or to help management with various paperwork. I guess I am lucky to be so flexible and be able to help with a lot of the business and it has really helped me grow and open my eyes to what goes on in the world of advertising.

Cons

Seeing as they do advertising for multiple companies, there are always tight deadlines for projects which can lead to extra stress to keep track of everything but I feel like that is just something that comes with the territory of advertising. Every job has its own unique stress factors and this one just happens to revolve around scheduling.

We understand scheduling can be stressful and therefore try create very specific timelines to best work around time constraints of certain projects in order to make sure things can go as smoothly as possible. Thank you for your great comments! We are glad you are enjoying your time here and wish for you the best of luck on everything you do.
