I had taken a package of Monster.com for resume development and forwarding to consultants for getting a job They charged 4000 Rs. and promised to develop resume within 5 working days. Now 20 days had passed and there is no response. I contacted them on phone but no response.

I have not used them in a few years but they used to be easy and fast and have a ton of jobs. Now i tried them again and the site is a mess. Their are ad pages that ask for information that look like job forms inserted between job search functions in a way that is not clear it is an ad.

The usability is off and the functions dont make sense. Monster has a great name but if their search and usability keeps getting compromised for ad dollars they will lose users.

It is is clear that their are too many people involved in the sites look and functions and their is no plan or guidelines on how things should work and be uniform in search usability.

I try to post an advert on monster.com. As I try to fill in the details on jobs and other data, then it comes with a message about "Region" which means I cannot continue and complete the whole process. Try and call Monster.COm hotline and no one answer. Then have to go to Reeds.com. few days later, Monster.com called and ask I have not post, which I explain the problem. Then they still insist I pay for the post which was never done.

Unlike Reeds.com, where they charge you after a succesful post, Monster.com charge you upfront irrelevant of what happened. Despite explaining to several member of Monster.com team and explain my problem, it seems it like I am talking to a machine as they refuse to accept and now threaten to take legal action.

£113 is not a great deal of money, just I feel I am a "Sucker" if I pay.

Monster.com tried to develop the 'new monster'. However, it's been a mess for months and the executive team is cashing free paychecks. All this while your desperately trying to find work. AND, during the hardest times people need to find a job the most, the executives don't give a rats ass about weather you loose out on jobs.

Monster keeps selling SELLING it's services to companies as the best- even though it's worse than hotjobs.com. Monster charges more than anyone else, while selling the new and IMPROVED Monster. However, the job board IS THE WORST JOB BOARD EVER AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE.

Jobs do not come up that employers post. You cannot do a nationwide search. You type in your city and it only pulls up jobs in your city, even if you put 200 miles out you will not see those jobs. You have to type in EVERY LITTLE CITY in any area to find a job.

I've eMailed Monster Executives soo many times. I'm not getting paid to fix their job boards. However, looks like Jame Broadbent is getting free money - he does not even take the time to test his own product. He has no clue about the problems with his own company job board. However, a friend says he's making some big bucks and taking some very long lunches with several vacations.

BOY COT MONSTER. DON'T POST YOUR JOBS - IT WILL BE A HUGE WAIST OF COMPANY MONEY. THEY BECAME BIG FROM US AND WE CAN STOP USING THEM TOO. THEY DON'T CARE WEATHER YOU FIND AN IMPORTANT JOB OR NOT. IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY AND SPENDING IT BIG TIME.

DON'T POST JOBS ON MONSTER. THEY ARE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF. YOU CANNOT FIND THE JOBS YOU WANT.

I gave them every opportunity for months to fix their problems and still not done. They took down the Refresh button and a recruiter stated that James lied about the service was causing problems for recruiters! HOWEVER, WE ALL LOVED THE REFRESH BUTTON AND IT WAS THEIR ONLY GOOD PART OF SERVICE.

MONSTER WILL WORK AGAINST YOU FROM FINDING A JOB!

I know a lot of people have said good things about monster.com over the years. I am the dissenting opinion that this website allows too many scam artists, con men, fraudulent colleges which offer degree mills and doesn't make the effort to delete these websites from their website. It is simply a case of buyer beware when it comes to dealing with job posters.

I am a member of monster.com since September and am a recent college graduate. I applied for jobs on this website, preferably within the vicinity of my neighborhood. During the month of October, I received a call back from a company called 'Ad Hoc Advertisement' and another called 'O' Rourke Advertising, ' if either has checked this website they can find out these companies are not what they claim to be and were conducting borderline legal scams. In Ad Hoc's case, they will tell they are an 'aggressive advertising company' that has worked with 'Papa John's' and 'the Oakland A's.' When, in fact, they are selling Winnie the Pooh Encyclopedias titled 'Pooh-Pedias' and door-to-door canvassing selling home improvement.

If a company is as successful as they claim to be, what the f**k are they doing selling Pooh-Pedias for? I also received an unsolicited e-mail from some guy named 'Bryan' telling me about some work-at-home scam, and just this week, I received another phone call from a lady pitching me the idea of an anti-wrinkle cream which 'annihilates aging forever'! All I have to do is go on their website www.thebesttrend.com and listen to a 30-minute pitch and I will have to work again!

I have received, in one morning, six--yes, six, calls from a fraudulent degree mill. I never solicited their offers so they got my info from monster.com. Its time monster.com start coming to terms with their website because people will eventually smell the fraudulent postings, the degree mills, and the scams and stop trusting this website as a source for their careers.
