Pros

Good people, not including management. A lot of training.

Cons

Bad management, childish favoritism, inability to pick a direction and stick with it, the list goes on. The biggest con was the absolute hypocrisy when it came to company ethics. I've never seen a company blow so much smoke about how to treat people and then do the exact opposite. There was also no clear path up in this role without relocating. Which I'm glad I didn't do, as custom ink relocated a bunch of production employees and then fired them too. Right before outsourcing art overseas, despite having an excellent art team.

Bad place to work

Pros

The benefits were nice, and the amount of PTO, but I'm sure all that's changed by now.

Cons

Paid people less than they were worth. Fired a ton of people during the holidays. "Stress testing" the equipment with no regard for the people working on them.
