Don't really know where to start. Expect a 10-13/hour pay with no raises or advancements ever offered. Management is a bunch of immature grown adults who talk about each other to associates and then wonder why none of them have respect. 99% of the salaried supervisors in the warehouse sit and do nothing all. day. long. If you are a nepotism hire, you will be fine and protected but do not expect appreciation, advancement, support, or any help to make a liveable wage. So many workers do the jobs of managers but probably make less than half of what they make. The CEO does not care about the warehouse one bit. You are worthless and replaceable which is why 150 people have come and gone in the past several years. The culture is just so pitiful. This place is good if you need a small stress-free part-time job but is impossible to live on full-time. You could probably be a janitor for double the pay. Expect poor time management and a lot of sending you home. Some of the office workers are nice to the warehouse but some act like the owner and expect you to bow down. The job and place could be a thriving and lovable atmosphere but the direction and leadership is lacking

Inked at face value looks like a hip and current place for eager professionals to thrive in the fast and furious work of social media marketing. What it really is is a bedazzled Walmart shopping cart hooked up to an engine with a brick duct taped to the gas pedal.
Inked suffers from poor management and absolutely haywire direction. A 12+ year old company who touts its 'we run like a startup' vibe as a positive when really they mean it: Inked runs like a startup because they have poor leadership, a volatile financial situation, and extremely high turnover.
There's no room for growth or improvement in the creative field and the supervision has no creative experience. You aren't trusted to do the job you were hired for without untrained management peering over your shoulder, so no matter how much you want to thrive and improve, don't expect anything to gain traction if your supervisor didn't come up with it.
It's a relatively relaxed environment and for the short term it's a fun and fast experience. But this company doesn't value its employees and has shown itself to be a thin veneer of allure over a what is really a garbage fire.

Where do you start.  Benefits are awful, HR never try to improve benefits.  The atmosphere is like being in high school, you have the popular kids who get raise and A LOT of time off, while everyone else gets treated like trash.  HR and the company president are never at work and have no idea what is going on.  The poor warehouse team unloads trucks weekly and never gets a thanks for anything for their hard work.  The company waste money on stupid stuff but will not provided lights in the warehouse so people can see to do their jobs.  This company wants you to have no family life.  The pay if awful and will only give promotions and raise to certain people. The warehouse employees never get raise but are always asked to work saturdays or stray late.  Not worth you time if you are looking for a great paying job that you would like to keep for a few years. 

It was good when I started but I had been there for a couple months and had been trained in other departments with no raises. The director of the warehouse complains constantly but treats his employees terribly. Most of the people there are bearable and that was the only thing keeping me. You’re not paid anything extra for doing more orders nor are you recognized for it, yet you’re expected to meet a certain goal everyday. I’m also pretty positive they train people on the forklift under the rug because there’s no real certification of any kind that you receive afterwards. There’s also periods with no work so you only get so many hours and that could go on for weeks sometimes, not to mention you’re not allowed to work overtime. Overall, wouldn’t recommend unless really really  in need of a job. 

Inked is the only place I've worked where I personally can make change happen quickly and clearly see the impact I have to the business.  Management expects a lot from employees but also listens to ideas and implements things quickly, which I like.  You will not enjoy working for Inked if you don't like change - change is a constant and you are constantly working on new projects and initiatives.  The most enjoyable part of the job is the ownership and freedom given to employees to own their own responsibilities.  That comes with high expectations but is something I LOVE, not being micro-managed or constrained.  It's fun to be creative and be given the freedom to try new things.  The hardest part of the job is balancing the fast pace, definitely doesn't get boring!

Inked is the type of place you want to work at if you want to gain very valuable experience and truly see the fruits of your labor.  This was the best management team I have worked with in my career.  They all care so deeply about company success and it shows in their relentless pursuit of improvement.  This isn't the best place to work if you want to clock in and out every day and just perform a set list of responsibilities.  Adaptability is the name of the game there and that made working there a fun experience every day.  

It's not a difficult job, but dealing with snarky management makes it feel that way. Leadership members here are quick to jump to conclusions and point fingers accordingly, and will not admit or apologize when they're wrong. They do kind things occasionally to show appreciation for the employees but just as often try to instigate. Everyone is human, but it seems like leadership figures should know how to be professional. It's a very two-faced, catty environment. Other production workers are very friendly, helpful and kind. That's the best part of the job.

Pros: Would highly recommend this great company to work for! In the time I've spent with Inked, I can see the opportunity for advancement, managements willingness to listen to ideas at all levels of the company, and embraces individuality. Work/life balance is important to the company and shows through the flexibility and PTO policy. Celebrations are also taken seriously (which makes the office super fun) and we get to bring our dogs to work! 

Cons: Not many cons come to mind. If an area of improvement arises, the team is quick to problem solve! 

Overall, it is a great place to work. The people are kind and everyone is committed to doing good work. There are times where other departments get away with a bit too much, while ours had to shoulder the burden. I think they could benefit from more opportunities to advance in the area you are in and 401k matching. You can advance in the company, but it usually means moving to a different department.

We frequently ran out of things to do. The sense of time management was not there. One employee sat there and played on her computer/phone/tablet all day and nothing was ever said to her about it until a lot of employees got laid off. The environment is a lot like being in High School. It's about who is the most liked, and the amount of drama in one place is astounding.
