Pros
- The people. This place is full of hilarious, fun-loving, genuine & caring folks. It is wild that in my five years here & in 20 years as a business, Custom Ink is able to maintain its culture & hire the best of the best.
- The benefits. WOW! The health insurance plan here is amazing!
- The environment. The company cares about its employees & wants to ensure everyone is comfortable, happy & healthy. They pay for catered lunches once a week & a catered snack once a week, they discount your health insurance payment per check if you are a generally healthy person, they do mini chair massages twice a year, the list goes on!
- The facility. There is a small gym on-site, locker rooms with showers, a private breast pumping room for new moms, a game room with puzzles, video games, etc. & even a virtual doctor's office where you can schedule a video chat with a doctor rather than going to urgent care. All of that, on top of a generally well-kempt & modern building.
Cons
- Constant change. Change is great, to a degree, because it means the company listens to feedback, grows from it & learns from their own mistakes. Custom Ink can sometimes make changes too abruptly without thoughtful preparation & it impacts everyone on the front lines more than the higher-ups tend to realize.
- Young employees. While having young employees can be a pro & a con for various reasons, I do find that there can be a bit of drama among the employees considering they aren't very professionally mature yet.
