I have worked a lot of retail store jobs and one thing that's a huge difference is that Custom Ink never made me feel like I'm just another body to get the work done. Most corporate businesses treat employees like they know they're replaceable. I feel like my worth isn't just in my ability to do my job. They took the time and effort to ensure training was done correctly and within a reasonable amount of time. In the 5 months with the company as a regular full-time employee, I feel more appreciated and more confident in my employer than I have in the 15 years of working in retail management.
