Pros

Small company with good goals. CEO is nice and very thoughtful. Use to be a good place to work

Cons

Executive team has no clue on how to manage. It was better managed but now I heard mismanaged. Need more experience team members in Ink jet area. Not everyone can manage the company and get sales.

While it is true you cannot always believe what you hear. Every person has the right to voice their perception of the world. InkJet is a company that is in the coding and marking industry for the long term, to build value. I agree with you, it is important to have a team with inkjet experience. Yet, at the same time I do not believe the inkjet industry is a unique unto itself; there are numerous other technical industries that can add value by lending a synonomous perspective. The inkjet industry is similar to many different industries that involve capital equipment, a consumable, parts and service. I also agree with your statement that not everyone can manage a company or get sales, which is why it is important to hold individuals accountable for their work and if through many months, even years of collaboration it does not work then it is time for someone to move on. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

A career step backwards!

Pros

Owner engages in social media and has company events to try and convince people that Inkjet is a good place to work

Cons

Inkjet is a "hire to fire" type of place. There were at least six employees that started and quickly left during the year I was there. One qc chemist didn't even last a day. Cliques have formed among employees that have been at Inkjet since the early days. Your success will depend on how well you fit into these cliques. If not, it will be a frustrating experience that will leave you quitting in exasperation or fired. Nobody will help you but you'll be expected to help everybody else. Training and orientation is nonexistent. Priorities aren't clear and change daily with some very secretive meetings. The position I was hired for should have given me some input on how work flow would be managed but I was ignored. Management had no unifying vision and everybody is just doing what they want. Long term projects are only given three months to complete (they call them rocks) and you are reviewed and threatened quarterly if you can't complete them. Resources and help to get projects completed in such a time frame are nonexistent. Nor are the priorities very clear. Production is the only department that seems to be functioning well. Inkjet is an after market commodity manufacturer so this is to be expected. But I would personally avoid this place. It seems to be where careers go to die.

A huge component of InkJet’s culture: is to build the tribe described in 3 sentences. 1. earn respect which is normally obtained through proving yourself to others. 2. lift others meaning be a giver in life not a taker. Treat others as you would want to be treated 3. Choose Kindness in every situation do what is right always turn the other cheek. Thank you for voicing your opinion, this review gives InkJet depth and I believe it is important for everyone to know the good, bad and ugly even if it is just one person’s perspective on things. Everyone filters the world differently which is what makes individuals who they are and I respect greatly. InkJet is a family owned business, not a fortune 100 and we are far from perfect. Not perfectly, but always improving. The difficult thing is when expectations are not clearly understood between employees and management. I apologize for not being a strong enough leader to build the bridge faster. Your advice to management about getting everyone on the same page has already started with recorded monthly town hall meetings where employees can ask any question about revenue, what’s going on etc. Additionally, each department head speaks 2-3 times a year about what is going on within their area and this will help further the cross departmental communication that is vital.

Pros

Small company with good benefits.

Cons

Not a good management team. Rude and unfriendly people. CEO is not experienced and emotional. Do not appreciate hard work. NO pay rise or bonus for three years or so. Wastes money, not focused.

While it is true you cannot always believe what you hear. Every person has the right to voice their perception of the world. InkJet is a company that is in the coding and marking industry for the long term, to build value. Which means the short term is not always optimized for instant gratification. Expertise, success, and teamwork cannot be built overnight, it takes many years of agile progression to create a solid foundation for which traction can be accomplished. Every person that has worked at InkJet over the years has shaped the company into what it is today. Sometimes the culture of a company changes and certain individuals find themselves in a place where they have chosen not to progress with the team. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
