You can't get job suggestions in your city even when you set your city, they will just keep emailling you with out of town job suggestions. When you email them and ask how to make this stop they will not reply. The harassing phone calls and fraudulent credit card charges is wild, thanks for the heads up/warning. There are plenty of free resume templates to create your own. Never pay for one. Tip for consumers:Don't pay for services and remove your phone number from your account. Who calls about jobs these days anyway? Products used:job search site Service Value Quality Date of experience: December 8, 2024In less than 4 hours you charged me over 70 dollars. What a scam! Your goal was to get your monthly maximum, of hundreds of dollars, as fast as possible. I wanted to discuss this with you, considering I got not one hit.instead you debited my account immediately. Talk about unfair business practices, you're greedy. I'll never use you again and I will do all I can to slander you, or as I call it.the truth. Date of experience: January 29, 2024Placed a job ad. Immediately started charging for fake clicks, there were no real applicants at all. I cancelled the ad immediately and got another bill a month later. Incompetent, dishonest staff will not detail the charges beyond very vague "as per the terms and conditions" - which doesn't apply after I've cancelled the job post! Absolutely criminal, scam, fraudulent joke. Tip for consumers:SCAM. RUN. What an absolute waste of time and money. Products used:NONE. Service Value Quality Date of experience: May 12, 2023I had to delete and remove myself from monster as I was receiving multiple unqualified calls and email. Recruiters aren't qualifying their leads before contacting me offering very low paying jobs. A lot of call from people in India calling many are possible scam. Don't use monster. Service Value Shipping Returns Quality Date of experience: October 3, 2023What a why to get your blood pressure pumping! For the past few weeks cus service would call to confirm hotel. They asked for all names of travelers and date of birth. Everything was great. Got plane tickets and all. Than three days before we set to leave they call and say, sorry kids are to old (16/15) and can't go. I flipped out on them could not believe what I was hearing. They gave me a refund for hotel but still had air plane tickets. So I had to find another hotel on my own. What's really funny is they called me again today and asked if I wanted to book another trip. Never again. The name Monster fits them well Tip for consumers:Monster travel sucks Products used:None Service Value Shipping Returns Quality Date of experience: July 5, 2023It may not have been specifically monster, could've been career builder, or any of the other sites I went to while looking for a part-time job. I have been inundated with spam calls for the last three months. If it wasn't monster, it was one of them selling my data. Date of experience: October 18, 2023Terrible terrible organization. We bought the Monster Employer subscription, sold to us by Sunny Arora, this dude sold us a service for unlimited searches and 50 AD posts for 1 year.at no point did we use up to 50 AD post. When I complained to Sunny he said we were supposed to update old posts and not use new ones, information that was not passed on to us as at the time of purchase. These folks then later cut off at the end at the beginning of a month, but still sent us a bill for a full month. These folks are a bunch off scammers and have terrible customer service, no time when we had an issue did they help to fix the issue at all which is why we choose not to resubscribe. If you love yourself run away from these scammers. Ruuuunnnnnn Service Value Quality Date of experience: November 18, 2023Since signing up on Monster and creating my profile I've been getting spammed day in and day out by the same 2 "recruiting" companies with the same unsuitable/bad match/lowball job offer I've had to say no to every single time and the calls keep coming. One is from "Arete Technologies" - you can look them up, they have existing reports as spammers; and the other I can't remember the name of but it keeps calling from a different 734 area code number every time. Same "offshore call center" type reps every time from the 2 "different" companies. Hopefully once I deactivate my account it'll stop. Stay away from this site. Service Value Quality Date of experience: July 28, 2023I paid $235 for resume services and what was returned to me was an unfinished document. There were incomplete sentences, grammatical errors, formatting errors, and most of the information had nothing to do with any job I performed. The response form the company was "All sales are final." This is a scam and a fraudulent service. Date of experience: September 1, 2021I am one who put reviews for good service as well, so I am not being in reasonable here but they could have done only better than what the do as a part of the customer service. Payment is big issue. Wish they had good employer payment portal and do it without interacting with customer service folks. Tip for consumers:Employer Products used:Monster.com portal service Service Value Returns Quality Date of experience: January 29, 2021I created a profile with my resume and contact information and have since received an incessant amount of spam calls/emails from Indian call centers. Avoid this website at all costs. Use a reputable job board like Indeed or LinkedIn instead. Tip for consumers:Avoid the website. If you use it, do not select the option that allows employers to contact you Products used:Job board service Service Value Quality Date of experience: September 29, 2022My order ID is ******* I paid 3K for resume writing. Please b e aware, we need to follow up after payment and it will not be helpful. We wont get any resume, Worthless piece of S****, dont go for premium service. If u go, its ur wasted money. Tip for consumers:DOnt go for premium service Products used:Premium service Service Value Quality Date of experience: July 4, 2022Monster has one of the most comprehensive job search databases out there. Easy to drill down into areas of specialty, useful email alerts. I've used it a few times, getting my next employment through them. Date of experience: September 16, 2018As a recruiter, I've used Monster off and on for 20 years and they still act like they are the only game in town. They don't make any effort to remove duplicate resumes, perhaps because it's part of their business model: charging recruiters for resumes they've already viewed. Tip for consumers:Don’t Products used:Search and postings Service Value Quality Date of experience: October 18, 2021No trial period, they lock you in a contract and then threaten to sue you and ruin your credit because you want to cancel. Threats of litigation, intimidation and attempts to discourage you from filing complaints with any governing agency. They are NOT small business friendly, beware they will bleed you dry with their bogus contracts. They don't seem to realize business owners will speak out and tell one another. Its apparent why Monster.com is not utilized by other businesses or prospective hires. Lots of threats and intimidation, don't make the mistake we did. Cannot attach photos of our emails or they will advance the threats further to get me to remove this review. Tip for consumers:Find something else, don't sign any of their contracts its a scam Products used:Sold us a bogus membership to post jobs. Used the service for 2 weeks and they refuse to cancel our "contract" and are demanding full payment. They have threatened us beyond belief, buyer beware. Service Value Quality Date of experience: February 3, 2023Spam callers! I created a profile with my resume and contact information and received 100s of spam calls/emails from Indian call centers. Avoid this website. Use a reputable job board like Indeed or LinkedIn instead. Service Value Quality Date of experience: October 20, 2022Under no circumstances should you ever make a profile on Monster. I learnt the hard way after making one. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was harass endlessly. Phone calls, texts and emails every few minutes by these terrible "recruiters" that didn't even bother to look at my resume. Phone calls and texts at 6am! It's better now that I deleted my profile. I had to pick up a few of those calls and be mean. Id also ask where they got my information. Monster. I even selected the do not show my contact information options... got people calling me confidential... Date of experience: December 5, 2022I bought there resume build and booster/xpress services after many phone calls, they claim the best service and guaranteed interviews with big companies, this was my understanding, after payment I discovered this is junk and they buy resumes writing from other cheaper resources and no interviews. I lost over 200$ Tip for consumers:Be very careful and don’t be fooled with this website Date of experience: April 26, 2022As soon as you have paid, your account manager becomes extremely unresponsive. Takes a whole month to write a cv, not because of back and forth edit, but because of radio silence from their team. Complete rubbish service. Avoid! Service Value Quality Date of experience: May 18, 2022I am very disappointed in the monster website. They allow 2 or 3 companies to post the same jobs every day. You have to scroll past these jobs to see any others. There is also very limited search options. Will not use again. Date of experience: November 6, 2017My order ID is ******* I paid 6K for resume writing. After 13 days no update from Monster. But status showing as completed. I escalated many times with Monster. No response only false promise. Please think twice before buying a service package from Monster service team Service Value Quality Date of experience: June 2, 2022Mr. Bell renewed my enthusiasm for dealing with Monster Travel. I had questions as to protocol For tours which I have yet to receive and also for future booking co-ordinating with a documentary I am making. He went beyond patience to explain and I am grateful. He advised me well so that I Can make arrangements and understand what I am doing. Thank you. It was like an 'in person' dialogue Which I so miss rather than the normal robot prompts, robot answering machines, and questions without answers. Thank you Mr. Bell! Date of experience: October 4, 2022What can I say about Monster Jobs. I have always had positive feedback. They contact me about current jobs they think I would be interested in. Help me update my resume. Get me in contact with recruiters. What more do you want from a job resourcing company. Very well done Monster Keep up the Good work. Date of experience: April 7, 2018I have not been able to find any work from this site. I still use it though. Just keep looking and keep trying. The site glitches some times. They will also send you to another website to sign up for just to apply for that job. That's too much work. Date of experience: November 16, 2018The monster platform is user-friendly for job searching, however the job postings are at times misleading. Also, when I receive job information, sometimes the location is so far away from the area that I am interested in or even in another state. Tip for consumers:there isn't any other services that they give you. You upload resume and cover letter and that's it, there isn't. No advice. Service Value Date of experience: April 20, 2022
