Pros

t's a tough job environment, after Ink every job will be easier and every company will appear more professional than that.

Cons

I never seen such a crazy turnover like at INK, they believe because is it's tough. The reality? it is not an healty environment at all. You will be surronded by people that doesn't have any idea how manage people, everything is driving by fear. They don't pay your commissions you earn previously when you leave the company.

The dedicated people in our teams have been with the company for many many years and I can give you examples of those people’s triumphs. Please visit: https://www.ink-global.com/careers/recruitment-guide We know that not everyone will adapt to, and succeed in a sales environment – but if you are driven to succeed, the opportunities are there for the taking. We are entrepreneurial and we only want for our colleagues to be the same.

Pros

What Pros? Pushed to your limits not interested in retaining staff. More interested in the £€$

Cons

Commission structure is altered when the wind blows the wrong way. The managers treat you like children especially in certain departments like specific European budget airline mags and TAD

During the previous years we have updated our business strategies and are continuously working on improving in every aspect of doing our business. Since we have relocated to North West London we have new managers and new system in place which bear no resemblance to what was going on in Shoreditch.
