Custom Ink reviews

- management is either programmed to get rid of veterans, or plain just don't care. - the company repeatedly asks everyone for honest feedback, but it's my experience that if you decide to give honest feedback that goes against the "kool aid", you end up being grilled by managers and team managers who ask you why you're being "negative" instead of actually taking the criticism and changing. there is literally NO incentive to be honest in the multitude of surveys that they throw out. everyone I know now just clicks through so they don't get pulled off the floor for a brow beating. - the majority of middle to upper management have literally no real life sales experience, yet are now in charge of changing the company into a sales organization. kind of like asking a mechanic to perform heart surgery, there's just a lot of nuances of sales that people without the experience won't be able to grasp. - logic and reasoning are secondary. instead, direction comes from whatever flavor of the month guru written management book is being cycled through middle management. - it's obvious to anyone with business sense that the company is priming to sell. senior management will be making an exit soon and all sense of the Custom Ink we all grew to love will end up going away completely once Wal Mart or whoever purchases them.

CustomInk thinks it is better than it is. Fast growth, a reputation for room to move up without the actual positions to move up, and deceptive overtime policies at time of hire are all concerns. Overtime across all operations rolls is excessive due to fluctuating business, and it feels as though they would rather burn out employees and pay new entry salaries than hire the proper numbers to keep up with busy season and retain solid employees. Many have left the company for similar positions elsewhere and receive much more appropriate compensation. It also feels as though all planning is rushed from a high level managerial standpoint and everyone in a direct supervisor role is fighting just to keep up rather then being given an appropriate workload to plan in advance and foster a better work environment.
