Pros

You are legally granted a paycheck, but that is the only difference between iNet and a sweatshop for websites.

Cons

Their "creative genius" brand of websites are texhnologically outdated by 10 years, at least. To incorporate ANY form of creativity, a competent designer would need at least one week of work. We were expected to hammer out websites in half that time, and our customers kept coming back for site repairs because we were forced to give them a uncompleted and often duct-taped website. The working conditions were comparible to a puppy mill. Cramped spaces, limited lighting, low ventilation, filthy stained carpets and no janitorial or building maintenance to be seen or heard. The management style was perfectly satisfactory for The Third Reich, but not acceptable for 21st Century America. I could compare the working relationship between sales and tech to be VERY similar to the high school antics of jocks vs. geeks. The sales force considered themselves to be the unstoppable force and perfect team of juggernauts. But when it came time to explain what they were selling, they had absolutely no clue. In many cases, we were told to provide products or add-ons to our websites that we simply didn't have the technology for. Sales would blow off the logical reasoning "Why are you selling products we do not offer?" with a barking and demeaning "JUST GET IT DONE!" Leadership tactics are fear and intimidation driven. Instead of what can we all do for the company, the mentality was more "What can you do for me, NOW!" Management would resort to personal attacks on employees to instill a shotty order of power. This resulted only in extremely low employee retention. Most employees would only last 6-12 months. Employee morale is simply not a consideration, a giant waste of time. When I finally put in my notice, not only was I ridiculed, but agressively and vindictively riduculed. I had objects thrown at me, and was even spit upon. I was treated as though I had betrayed the "team" by moving my life in a better direction.

Pros

Well... they pay you. Hourly. With no direct deposit (because the owner and CEO are too cheap and self-centered to shell out a few bucks per employee). That's.... well, that's about it. Oh, wait, I forgot - they throw a pathetic Christmas party every year that employees are essentially forced to attend. So, there's that...

Cons

Important note: Keep in mind that all of these 5-star reviews are being written by the CEO, his brown-nosing sales staff, and whatever other employees the CEO is forcing to write decent reviews. Seriously - the guy's trying to create a series of fake reviews to push his ratings back up. If that doesn't smack of desperation and insecurity, then I don't know what does. Go read the deep reviews to see why this business is so hated by those who work there.

Pros

iNET was my first job out of college and I've been here for 5 years now. At first it was somewhat of rude awakening because it's a fast paced environment that doesn't accept mediocrity. iNET strives to be the best, and if you can acquire that attitude your potential is limitless. A positive attitude really goes a long way. I've learned more at iNET in 5 years than I would working at any other marketing firm for 20. Every single day I'm challenged and I'm never watching the clock counting down the minutes until 5pm. The days go quick because your projects are always rotating all while learning along the way. If you treat it like a professional career that you REALLY care about you'll be rewarded continuously and graciously.

Cons

Sometimes it gets stressful, but what job doesn't?! Don't work here if you aren't willing to work hard and grind it out. The turnaround on projects is extremely quick and average cookie cutter skills aren't accepted. Some updated amenities and curb appeal would be very nice, but isn't a deal breaker considering what is to come. I don't really care about cold bathrooms or bad tasting coffee, that's child's play. I care about being able to support my family and enjoy the lifestyle I desire outside of work. iNET and how I chose to approach my opportunities there allow me to do that.
