Pros

Paid time off, remote job

Cons

The last 6 months of 2022 the CEO sent emails saying the company was financially fit and they were prepared for recession and no one needs to fear being laid off. Beginning of Dec, CEO sent email with the same rhetoric. First day of 2023 that employees were back at work, they announced two production facility closures and 20% of staff had been laid off. They lie, they put profits over decent management, adequate training, customer service, loyalty.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience—we’re grateful for your feedback. The closures of the Reno and Charlottesville production facilities in January were difficult decisions, prompted by increasing production costs and tight labor markets caused by the pandemic, but we tried to support impacted Inkers with generous severance packages and an extended benefits period. We always strive to learn from and listen to our Inkers, and we will share your feedback with the team.

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.
