This was a SALES company first, a very successful one at that. They decided to open production warehouses to cut out the middle man and merge into a market that has NOTHING to do with sales.... Production management is an atrocity... Turn over in both upper and lower level positions creates a revolving door of inefficiency. Lack of persistent leadership leads to lack of confidence from the higher ups, intrinsically leading to more simplified, archaic forms of quality control and benchmarks. These are production based earning institutions, meaning you meet goal and then make more money on any production post-goal. In most cases, the training you've received does not guarantee reaching just basic goal, at least not without any errors. The bottom line of this companies financial strategy creates pressure on the production floor that is surmounting. These are the lowest paid positions in the company, with the least amount of training and the most amount of expectation. In the end, these warehouses take advantage of the cities they're placed in. You have mass markets of high school graduates with a lot of retail and production backgrounds. Customink stands out because of the aforementioned benefits package and retirement, so for most of this populous, this is a great place to end up. For anyone actually trying to develop career skills and ascend in their status as an employee, this place is a sinkhole, lead by people who stuck around long enough to get promoted. The management positions in these facilities barely break 50k, you are salaried so your hours are variable, and you still have to deal with all previously mentioned backward momentum.
