Great place when I started..
Customer Service (Former Employee), Massacusetts – November 19, 2012
I first started in customer service in 2007. The morale was great and they treated us with luncheons, seminars and the ability to get Microsoft Certified. The benefits and pay were good. The people I worked with were great!

I progressed quickly receiving two promotions. I tried advancing my knowledge and skills further. The first interview I was never – more... notified about my candidacy. The second interview I was told I had the job and notified after that I didn't in fact receive the position.

All in all I believe Monster needs a new vision with investing in technologies and restructuring overall management from the bottom up. I hope to see this company go back to it's roots and become one of the best places to work in New England. – less

Productive and enjoyable place to work
Customer Relations Specialist (Current Employee), Florence, SC – June 26, 2012
I enjoy working at Monster because of the environement and the people that I work with. I enjoy going to work and have no difficulty performing my daily duties as required. The reason I am looking for new opportunities is because I currently live in Myrtle Beach, and drive to Florence Monday through Friday, and I am looking for an opportunity closer – more... to home. – less

Horrible Management without direction
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Maynard, MA – May 15, 2012
Pros: loafers can get by for years here
Cons: fired on a whim, no management vision or strategy, no support
Management believes Monster is a cool, hip online classified job board. As THE worst performing stock last year, it's unconscionable that the board has not replaced the CEO.

Lack of vision, no support of its workers, mismanagement, and lack of strategy all contribute to a bad place to work.

call center
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee), florence, sc – April 17, 2012
Monster is a call center. The pay is so-so but the benefits are great. Work is fast paced with plenty of overtime options available. Not for those who do not like multitasking or working second shift.

Good culture, good people
Technical Operations (Former Employee), Maynard, MA – February 8, 2012
Pros: management, coleagues, culture
During my short time there and while on 3rd shift I came across some extremely talented people. Management has an organic quality and still sees the human element yet not detracting from business which at a lot of other places gets lost due to rapid company growth and/or facing difficult decisions.

Lots of opportunity

There is so much opportunity at this company, but unfortunately the processes and legacy systems make it very difficult to change and innovate.

Cons: estructura organizacional compleja, poca adaptabilidad al mercado mexicano
Monster es una empresa transnacional con gran potencial en México, su ambiente de trabajo es muy bueno y relajado, con objetivos bien planteados para un desarrollo de Carrera.

Sin embargo su baja adaptabilidad al mercado mexicano permite que la competencia local reaccione rápidamente. – less
