Pros

You will meet some really great people A more relaxed work place Little fear of retaliation for honest feedback

Cons

-While the company won't retaliate for honest feedback, they also will NOT make changes based on the overwhelming feedback received. They will definitely pretend like they are listening, but no meaningful changes will be made. -Company prides itself on being named on the "Greatest Places to Work" lists. But they do not support their employees like they used to. -The sales department is very cut-throat now, which is a huge culture change from a few years ago. -The company is more focused on their bottom line than they are customer experience or employee satisfaction. They have brought in low-cost contractors to work in sales, who are poorly trained and wreak havoc for the actual Custom Ink sales reps. Additionally, they entirely outsourced their email team overseas. The old email team was made up of employees who had been at Custom Ink for years. So the customer experience has taken a nosedive.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It helps us a lot when people let us know what they have experienced. We will share your feedback with our team and work to make changes based on your suggestions. All companies experience growing pains as they evolve but we strive to keep our Inker experience positive. We survey every quarter to better understand (and improve) the overall job satisfaction of the Custom Ink team. Ratings and comments received are very important to maintaining and improving the work experience, the team, and Custom Ink itself. Our Sales team has an engagement score of 91%. Some recent team improvements include establishing a recognition team, creating newsletters, additional call coaching, and compensation increases. To share additional context regarding our email team, our intent was (and is) to get back to our customers faster. Customer engagement remains high with the overseas team. As we transitioned to this model, a large percentage of our email team members opted to take positions within a different area of Sales at Custom Ink. If you have more details you would like to share, please reach out directly to us: employerbrand@customink.com.

Pros

A lot of PTO, great insurance, they cater food once a week, and pay is pretty good. They hire friendly people who become family in a way. A lot of laughter and personality within the company.

Cons

A lot of favoritism, best if you find yourself in "the clique", or be a pretty girl. Workload can be overwhelming at times. Management wont hesitate to ask you to work overtime 6 months of the year to hit goals, most of the overtime is mandatory. Production is calculated by a new point system that made no sense and management couldn't figure out, yet they enforced it. They have an open door policy, but if you speak your mind and question something against their narrative they call you toxic and give you ultimatums.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We know it takes a lot of effort to provide constructive criticism, and we value the opportunity to address issues that arise. We do have peak seasons in Production and we cover the extra work through expected overtime. This past year has had more than typical overtime, although the longer-term plan is to more appropriately staff our Production facilities. Your feedback regarding favoritism and ultimatums is concerning and not characteristic of Custom Ink so please reach out directly with more details so that we may understand your situation better at employerbrand@customink.com. Thank you!
