Pros

Custom Ink for a long time has been a great place to work. Some of the best people I've ever worked with. Caring and engaging managers, great benefits, and a good work/life balance.

Cons

Beginning of the year they closed two production warehouses getting rid of everybody at the plants and moving all in-house production to Dallas, so if you lucked out you got to keep your job there. About a month later Art and Design gets the memo that they will be "right-sizing" which is an annoying term for laying off your amazing US team for cheap off-shore labor and taking the US team from about 180 artists down to about 20-30 people over the next year. The rest will be offshored to save what I'm sure is a substantial amount of money. Satisfaction and Art and Design are both currently in an off-shore pilot, testing out cheaper labor. So expect there to be no more Satisfaction and Art and Design job postings in the future. They went from being the community company to the maximize profits at the cost of quality company.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Closing our production facilities in Reno and Charlottesville was a difficult decision, prompted by production costs and tight labor markets in those areas, but we tried to support impacted Inkers with generous severance packages and an extended benefits period through the transition. If you have any other concerns you’d like to bring to our attention, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at inkerfeedback@customink.com. Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience with us.

Pros

Supportive team, tries to make work fun.

Cons

Basically a call center. Had a good experience at first but after they did another round of hiring things got slow and my manager started to pick apart everything I do.
