Pros
I first started at iNET as a junior in college. I had no real industry experience to speak of but told the CEO that I was willing to work, even if that meant getting coffee. They took me on and put me to work, fast. I didnt know what I was doing to begin with, they kind of threw me into the pool and let me learn how to swim, but when I asked for help they offered it.
Ive since returned to iNET three times, the summer before my senior year and during my winter breaks because they just needed some extra work. At the end of my second summer there I was offered a full time position. Naturally, I thought about it over a few months back at school and the gravity of how awesome iNET was really hit me.
The people I worked with were smart, hard working, and fun to be around. They were willing to hire a 19 year old who knew nothing and show him the ropes because he showed some initiative. I learned about mobile marketing, SEO, web design, and more. I grew as an employee here and there's a reason iNET is listed firs on my resume. The work was tons of fun, too. Every day I would write copy for a different company. Sometimes it was a law firm, other times it was a hunting preserve, and other times I wrote about adult diapers for an entire week.
Now, as I graduate college and enter the business world I can't wait to start at iNET because I know how much I will continue to grow with this company. I went from not knowing a thing about SEO or marketing to working as a full time copy writer because of iNET. It's a weird place with an abnormal corporate culture full of nerds who love data and love to work hard. And I love it there.
Cons
No direct deposit is honestly my biggest complaint. There isnt much in the way of official training so you need to teach yourself a bit, but the people around you are more than happy to help. Because iNET takes on so many projects people tend to wear a lot of hats. This can be great because you gain more experience, but can also suck because maybe you dont want to learn coding. You work with a lot of nerds. But I like nerds so I never minded.
Is iNET the best place in the world to work? No. Are there problems with management or certain aspects of corporate culture that are irritating? Yes. Are 99% of all employers the exact same? Absolutely.
