Pros

Flexible PTO, great medical benefits, very low stakes stress-wise

Cons

SLT moving company in a bad direction - what was once genuine community focused customer service is now a soulless predatory call center that micromanages you, tells you they want your feedback and opinions but don't care to listen unless you're affirming them, and gaslights you every step of the way. If you miss high school politics and want mean girls in mid-level management, this is the place for you.

Pros

Remote opportunity and relatively fair wages.

Cons

They’ve decided to automate so many systems that actually require a human touch that it makes things a lot more stressful for both the customer and the employees.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We're glad to hear you found value in the remote flexibility and compensation, and we appreciate you highlighting those positives. We also hear your concerns around the impact of automation on both the customer and team member experience. As we grow and evolve, we strive to balance operational efficiency with the personal touch that has long been a hallmark of Custom Ink’s service and culture. Your feedback is a helpful reminder of how important that balance is, and we’re committed to continuing to assess where technology supports — rather than replaces — meaningful human connection. We also appreciate your thoughtful advice to leadership. Staying true to our core values while adapting to change is something we take seriously, and insights like yours help us stay grounded as we move forward. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Pros

Work life balance, great co workers, good pay.

Cons

Closed down the location and everyone suddenly lost their jobs the week after Christmas. Would be five stars but obviously that puts a damper on things.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Custom Ink. We're truly glad to hear you appreciated the work-life balance, your teammates, and the compensation during your time with us. We also want to acknowledge how difficult and disappointing the timing and nature of the location closure must have been. Decisions that impact our team members' livelihoods are never taken lightly, and we deeply regret the hardship this caused. While we aimed to offer support—including severance packages and benefits continuation—we understand that the experience was painful, especially given the timing. We wish you all the best in your next chapter and thank you again for your contributions to the team.
