Pros

The benefits are incredible. The people are amazing. The CEO is awesome. The HR team was extremely supportive during different seasons of health issues that I went through.

Cons

There always seemed to be a moving target as far as expectations go. A lot of people ended up in middle level management that didn't really have the soft skills of people management. There tended to be a lot of toxic positivity with no space for employee concerns to feel validated. I had 8 managers in my 4.5 years there, so if you build repour with one manager then they leave, you have to prove yourself to someone new like every 6 months. Oh. also, the more "inclusive" Custom Ink became the more it was not okay to be moderate or conservative.

Pros

Good benefits and diversity initiative at the time.

Cons

The company lied about what the job was. A "community building local representative" for their brick and mortar stores ended up just being a cold calling job and taking incoming calls for other stores. No room to move up. The management was the worst I ever worked for. Weird rules where they signed the lease, including someone having to stay in the store in inclement dangerous weather. Most of the "old school" employees I came into contact with drank the Kool Aid in a weird way that left no room for criticism. I left in 2022 and have been watching the rating here fall for all the years since. Could have been a great company but I wouldn't ever give them my energy now, as an employee or customer.
