Fairfax City Business Makes Fortune Best Places To Work List 2019

FAIRFAX, VA—A city business has been named one of Fortune magazine's 100 Best Companies to Work For 2019 list. Custom Ink, at 2910 District Avenue in the Mosaic District, checks in at No. 86.

Here's what Fortune had to say about Custom Ink: " “Inkers,” as they’re called, live by the values of the golden rule, ownership, and innovation. Of note: Custom Ink has the highest percentage of full-time employees among all the retailers on our list this year."

On its website, the firm, which has 1,619 employees, says it's "ready to help turn your design ideas into custom t-shirts for the big game, koozies for the upcoming trade show, or embroidered hats for the company outing. No matter what you’ve dreamed up, we can't wait to make it a reality."

To determine the rankings, Fortune conducted an ongoing workforce study, asking employees 60 survey questions. The majority of questions emphasize employees' trust in their company and whether they can reach their full potential. Companies considered for the ranking had to complete an application detailing their HR programs and practices.

Northern Virginia companies making the list:

• 1. Hilton, Tysons
• 29. Navy Federal Credit Union, Vienna
• 39. Capital One Financial, Tysons
• 86: Custom Ink, Fairfax
• 98: Mars Inc., McLean
