Vantaggi
A lot of responsibility from day one. Coworkers are good and caring people, mostly in their young 20s. Dogs allowed. Sometimes we drink at our desks.
Svantaggi
The company’s owner/ceo/president is losing her mind, literally. I thought places like this only existed on TV, but every morning starts with yelling/cursing and screaming. I kid you not, we tried hosting an intervention, but it only made things worse... Why do we stay? Unfortunately, the majority of employees at Ink Link have never worked anywhere else - they were hired straight out of college. As a result, they believe their DAILY experiences - the constant abuse, berating and belittling - could be normal, but it’s most definitely not. It’s not a coincidence that our quickest turnovers have been people with real-work experience - In just one month, we had 4 different front desk people... Stories? Well, coworkers cry often, she’s thrown garbage at people, threats to be fired weekly, etc. etc. Before applying to Ink Link, a former employee told me this: “if you have no experience, and you’re desperate for work, you could stick it out for a year, then find something better.” In hindsight, it wasn’t worth it. You’ve been warned.
