Pros

Media Monks has a hand in a lot of great industries, has huge ambition and lots of talent and cash coming in the door. Great people as far as diversity, talent, enriching activities and such for the staff.

Cons

They are growing so much that the film production wing feels scattered and disorganized. There needs to be more clear direction and a stronger sense of identity. They are trying to get into original content, animated television but they're still an ad agency and internal production house. They're having an identity crisis and haven't hired the right people to swim out of the river.

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.
