Monster
reviews and complaints

Monster has provided me with a platform to explore job opportunities and gain valuable insights into resume writing and career development. The user interface is intuitive, but there is room for improvement in terms of modernization. I appreciate the tips on resume writing and cover letters, which have been helpful in my job search journey. However, I have encountered challenges with the job filtering system, as I received job recommendations that did not match my salary expectations. I look forward to seeing enhancements in the filtering options to better tailor job suggestions. Overall, Monster has been a valuable resource in my job search, but there are areas that could be enhanced to provide an even better user experience.

I emailed them 3 times but got no response. The website doesn't have a phone number and some parts of it don't work, like the 'contact us' section. I bought headphones in February, but one side stopped working. They should be covered by warranty, but I can't get a response from them to know how to get a replacement or repair. It seems like their customer service is non-existent. They don't respond to phone calls, tweets, messages, or emails, from what I found online.

I'm only givin' one star 'cause I can't leave a zero. I bought a MATTE RED EDITION Set of earbuds from this company on June 4th and still haven't got 'em. I tried reachin' out 'bout the order multiple times, but no response or update. I'd stay away from orderin' anythin' from this company. It was a total waste of $39.99 that I'll probably never get back, and I doubt I'll ever get the product I bought. It's sad that a company can get away with this. Hopefully, this'll help someone avoid the hassle.

I wish there was a 0-star option. I bought a pair of wireless headphones and the first time I used them, the battery only lasted 5 minutes (I charged them beforehand, obviously). So, I charged them again and the same thing happened, the battery ran out after 5 minutes. I tried contacting Monster twice using their online form, it's been about a month, and so far, NOTHING. I haven't even received an email confirming they received my request. Then I came here and realized that this isn't an uncommon situation, many people have had the same experience. So, Monster, do you stand behind your products? It seems like you don't even try to stand behind them.

I've contacted them lots of times through their website form. They sent me a pair of achieve airlink 100 Bluetooth headphones. But, they didn't include the various sizes of rubber pieces in the box. I'm trying to figure out how to get them.

I got two real, licensed Monster instrument cables. I bought 'em from guitar center in CT. They got a lifetime warranty. I've been hittin' up Monster through their warranty form on their website, but ain't heard nothin' back. I just want the company to honor the warranty.

I got two monster surge protectors with a lifetime warranty. But both stopped working or broke. I tried to get in touch with monster through phone, email, website warranty claim forms, and *** Monster didn't respond to any of my attempts to reach them, and they even "blocked" me on *** instead of replying!

I wrote to this company 3 times in 3 weeks 'cause the product got a lifetime warranty. It's a power strip. They never got back to me 'bout the online form I filled out. Can't find any other way to contact 'em, no phone number. I even tried hittin' 'em up on Instagram, but no response.

About 10 years ago, I bought three Monster HDMI cables. They came with a lifetime warranty, which promised free replacements if newer HDMI cable technology came out. I've tried reaching out to Monster through their website email, following the warranty instructions, three times. Unfortunately, I haven't received any response from them.

I bought a [protected] Prolink Monster Classic Pro Audio Instrument Cable on 5/14. It had a lifetime guarantee. But in February , the cable stopped working. I sent many emails, but got no response. I tried to find a phone number, but couldn't. So now, I'm filing a complaint to get a replacement or refund.

I bought a power strip from Best Buy with a lifetime warranty (receipt attached), but it's defective. I've tried many times to get it resolved through their website's contact form, but they don't have any other way to reach them. I haven't received any response from the company. I even tried reaching out to them on social media, but no luck.

We bought Monster power strips from an authorized dealer called thesource.ca 'cause Monster said they got a lifetime warranty. But when we tried to get a replacement through Monster's website, they didn't even bother to respond. And to make it worse, I asked about the warranty on Monster's *** page, and they straight up deleted my question without saying anything. We made the purchase on 2010-07-12 and paid $20.20 in total.

I tried to get in touch with Monster a few times (sent 3 emails since 11/30), but they haven't responded yet. I have a problem with a product I bought from them, specifically the Monster Power HD PowerCenter 900 with GreenPower. The plastic on it is falling apart and feels sticky. It's not because it's dirty, it just can't be cleaned. They clearly used a cheap plastic that's already deteriorating. I got this product from amazon.com on 3/2.

Monster refuses to delete my job seeker profile. I have asked them many times since 2021 to delete it after I deleted my job seeker account. I keep getting a lot of job offers for positions I had 15 years ago because of Monster, and Monster needs to completely delete my profile from their database. They keep profiles in their database to attract customers. I have talked to others who have had the same problem. I told them to complain to the ComplaintsBoard.com too.

Monster HDMI cables are not recommended at all. I used to sell their stuff. I got a Monster 1000HD HDMI cable, and I reached out to Monster for a warranty claim through a bunch of email addresses and their website. They're giving me the runaround and not doing anything to honor the warranty claim. I have lots of pictures and emails to show if you want. Please, Monster, stand by your warranty for a long time for all your products. I'm not impressed with Monster products based on my own experience. It seems like their service is basically non-existent because they don't do anything.

I bought a monster high speed HDMI cable that was supposed to be future proof. They said if the technology got better than the cable, they'd replace it. I got the cable in 2016 and now the technology is better. The cable I got was 4K, but now there are 8K TVs. Also, the HDMI standard is now 2.1, but this cable is only 2.0. I tried emailing monster in May and this week, but they didn't respond. They don't even have a working phone number anymore.

I asked for another replacement, but they said no. They said they couldn't approve my RMA request because I didn't have proof of purchase. If you have any questions, you can contact them at ***. I think it's unprofessional that they won't give me another replacement without proof of purchase.

Monster cable charges a lot more than most places do, so they can guarantee their products' performance and futureproofing. I bought a 35ft Black Platinum *** cable with a performance data indicator from Best Buy (receipt attached). I still have the packaging, cable, and receipt. Monster markets this cable with their "Cable for Life" guarantee. You can check out their website at https://monsterstore.com/pages/cable-for-life. According to Monster's website, "You are eligible for upgrades if, in the future, your components' requirements for *** connectivity surpass the cable's performance capabilities." Recently, a new *** specification was released. It states, "*** Specification *** 2.1a is the most recent update of the *** specification and supports higher video resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K60 and 4K120, and resolutions up to 10K. Dynamic HDR formats are also supported, and bandwidth capability is increased up to 48Gbps."

Monster has some nit-picky rules. I basically have to stand on one foot, have the receipts and packaging, and provide details about the components I'm using with the *** cable. I think these requirements would eliminate over 90% of people. Nevertheless, I've contacted them more than a dozen times to get the pre-approved exchange authorization and bring my cable in line with the current *** specifications. I followed all their instructions every time and even tried reaching out to them in other ways for peace of mind. Out of the 12 email chains I started, they only responded to one. Once they realized I provided all the required info, they stopped responding. I've replied to their last email multiple times, but they've been silent ever since.

I am truly discussed with the communication and listening skills of Martina.

How dare she be responsible for the future prospects of a seriously talented candidate.

I am 44 years of age and generally do not complain however this attitude of a supposed Talent Resourcer is shocking and actually beyond belief.

One of my best friends works for Monster and I know for a fact this is not the quality and standard that Monster wants to portray to the world.

I purchased monster database services for recruitment and paid over INR 80, 000 however when I started using the database I realized that profiles are outdated and people do not update profiles over here. When I decided to give up services even though the sales person told me that I am free to discontinue services any time if I do not find them appropriate. When I actually did that I was threatened to pay for the services on the basis of the agreement that I signed. This is cheating as we can not trust their sales persons and I was forced to pay the full amount. Be aware of this cheaters as they may commit you something just to sale their outdated products and achieve targets. Make sure that you take everything in writing.

I would suggest based on my experience that not to buy their database prodcts as they are outdated, they do not invest in them to promote them for updated resumes. Its complete waste of money. Moreover its a big trap as once you get into this there is no escape. Even if you escalate to their seniors it's of no any use as all of them are cheaters and they would not take any action

MonsterIndia.com is a fake job portal . DOnt pay for them ..

Full of fake promises and fraud organisation. Please do not pay a single rupee for jobs. I have done it unfortunately and after 3 weeks, believe me, not even a single company has contacted me for job interviews. I was contacted by a certain ms deepthi to pay inr 6500. Everytime i contact wisdomjobs, they say that they have forwarded my cv and are awaiting the company feedback. They do not even share the company names with whom they share our cv (If atall they send our cv)...

Monster.com collects emails addresses from individuals from its partners, then creates unauthorized accounts for those emails addresses. When those for whom the unauthorized accounts contact Monster.com in order to stop emails they subsequently receive, Monster.com then attempts to EXTORT information (first and last name, phone number, address, past employers, etc.) from those individuals in order to process account closure. Monster.com does not provide an account verification means nor opt-out means . This compliant is an effort to bring about awareness about this organization and their illegal activities.
