Pros

They have great benefits, and an amazing work environment. Free lunches once a week

Cons

They worked us to the bone in 2022, having us work overtime for what amounted to 7 months over the course of the year. (We worked 10 hour days for 7/12 months in the year) They also delayed raises for employees based on the promise of a new pay plan. Then in January, when the new pay plan was to be revealed, they laid off everyone in Reno and Charlottesville, all the while maintaining the company had positive financial health in team and company meetings.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience with us. We appreciate your feedback and understand that the significant overtime during 2022 was challenging for our team members. Unfortunately, the overtime and the facility closures were prompted by the same factors: consistent staffing challenges and tight labor markets caused by the pandemic. Although we tried to support impacted Inkers with generous severance packages and an extended benefits period, we understand how difficult this experience has been and will share your feedback with our team.

Pros

The health insurance is about the only positive thing

Cons

-Custom Ink has a highly toxic and unprofessional work environment. -Management is known for gossiping, showing favoritism, and inconsistently enforcing policies. -Reports of harassment and name calling by management are not addressed. -They instruct employees not to report overtime hours -There are inaccuracies in sales and commission metrics, and no explanation is provided when they are brought to the company's attention. -There is a lack of structure in each department, resulting in confusion and inefficiency. -The company uses unreliable platforms (Embassy and Salesforce) and fails to provide adequate training. -Priorities and responsibilities frequently shift without clear direction, leading to confusion and wasted time. - Their "core values" are used as a tool to deflect complaints and concerns. -The company culture lacks genuine concern for employees' well-being, and complaints are met with dismissive responses from management. The managers will gaslight you and are condescending.
