Pros
I have enjoyed every single moment of working at Custom Ink. The company takes its core values into consideration during the hiring process, which creates a strong team with personalities that vary but mesh well together. I've never been in a similar work environment. Working in sales, there is a direct reflection of how hard you work to how much you're paid because there is a commission "bonus" based on your performance, but the base salary is high enough that you can earn a living even doing the bare minimum. However, the culture of Custom Ink drives a growth mindset unparalleled by any company I've worked at or researched, so very few employees perform at the bare minimum. There are ample opportunities for professional development and growth, nothing like I've ever seen before. The company doesn't just set you up for success within the company (while that is the goal) but it helps to develop long-term goals and skills that can benefit you throughout your career. I have always felt taken care of as an individual within the company. I have a few personal circumstances that oftentimes require special accommodation, and the company has always supported me and met my needs immediately and without judgment. Custom Ink hires genuinely good people and holds its employees to high moral and professional standards. It comes across well in employee retention and morale. When in the office, there's free food, both a stocked kitchen and regular catered meals. There are frequent fun event days. I will never forget being served blueberry pancakes for breakfast by the Vice President, and many employees look forward to "puppy day" annually where the company's volunteer program brings in adoptable animals to play with. I'd also call-out that the company HAS a volunteer program, which really sold me on Custom Ink when I was applying for jobs. Not only does my work/life balance allow for me to volunteer, but it is also encouraged and supported by the company.
Cons
The bar has now been set too high. Nothing will ever compare.
