Pros

There are actually some good people who work at Ink and I have made some really good friends during my time here. I have also had the opportunity to travel, although with the loss of titles I cant see how any newbies will experience the same.

Cons

The management at Ink are absolutely horrific!! They have no skill sets or attributes that make a good manager, with most there simply due to brown nosing. They are fixated with KPIs, which change with the direction of the wind, and fail to inspire or motivate any staff member. But the worst part of Ink is the commission structure which will change as and when you start to make any money. The targets and the comm percentages will change when they want them to, ensuring that you will only ever really make a few quid above your basic. This is such a shame as when I joined Ink the comms were fab and we all made a lot of money. Believe me I was a top performer at Ink so if i couldn't make make a decent amount I don't see how a newbie can!!!
