Pros

Some of the people are cool. Sometimes you get to work on cool projects, but those are rare and really only reserved for clients that are closely tied to management.

Cons

-The benefits: 5 days vacation for the first 3 years or so. Lowest quality health, dental, vision, etc. No 401K - Upper-level sales team/management would talk almost non-stop all day about what's happening outside of work - or just gossip about someone they didn't like in the *very* open office. -They clearly take advantage of people right out of college desperate for a job. Raises - given that you sell, sell, sell baby! - are enticing at first, but get more infrequent or disappear altogether the longer you're there, because why give a raise to someone who can do the job when you can hire an inexperienced person to eat hours at a cheaper rate? -Frequently feels like account managers have to lie to clients on projects or labor just to fill an arbitrary billable hour quota for the owner. - The workload asks were crazy, overtime was seen as an expectation rather than an option. Adequate time and/or attention was never given to accounts. -Being verbally berated in the open office, having your emails read and used against you, and other unprofessional tactics used by the owner create a toxic environment that completely ruined any hope for productivity.

Pros

The pros unfortunately outweighed the cons when I started at iNET. -They will hire basically anyone -You get digital marketing experience -The benefits are horrible but you can negotiate higher pay because of that -Cool coworkers

Cons

iNET is a very manipulative environment. Management pits people against each other, will message you half-formed thoughts and expect you to complete tasks based on those thoughts, and will make fun of your coworkers. You will meet some really cool people if you decide to work at iNET, but management is haphazard and they're just intent on blaming their problems on everyone else. Management believes that everyone who has an issue with their management style is just a snowflake and call people losers because they quit because they can't handle the iNET environment. Their glassdoor reviews are horrible because the company culture is terrible. Management asked me not to leave a Glassdoor review, and then proceeded to tell me that "no policies at iNET have ever been changed because of a Glassdoor review." iNET does not want to change, iNET doesn't want to grow. They do horrible work with an inexperienced staff that rotates out every 3 years. If they worked on retention and company culture that wouldn’t be the story. Learn, build your resume, and then run.

Pros

iNET web does some cool stuff in terms of web dev and site design capabilities, which makes it a real shame about... everything else about them.

Cons

I have many critical things to say about iNET web. I'll limit myself to one anecdote that I think is representative of the iNET web experience. In March 2020 there was that one day where the entire country realized Coronavirus would be a thing that would be affecting our daily lives. As I'm sure you remember it was a pretty scary time. We were all looking for a little direction about what that would mean for our working lives. Surely we'd be working from home. There's no logical reason a web marketing company can't be run almost completely remote. Imagine our surprise when we received a company wide email from our intrepid CEO, Steven Libbey explaining to us 3 points: 1. iNET would UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES be working remote. 2. The flu kills more people every year than the coronavirus (Steve had even had the flu once and it wasn't that bad!) 3. The coronavirus pandemic was a liberal conspiracy to sway the 2020 presidential election. We eventually did end up working remote for a couple months when it was mandated by the state. As soon as we were legally able to we were all forced back into the office. Surprise, surprise, a few months later COVID swept through the office and infected about 75% of us. If that wasn't bad enough, for the next few months we had to listen to other high level employees on the sales team complain to clients about how while we were working remote we collectively worked fewer hours. Mind you iNET employees are hourly, so it wasn't about time theft, it was about people not making iNET their top priority at a time when... there was some other stuff going on. As I said, this is one anecdote. Please do not work here. It is a toxic environment. I know the interview is easy and you might be desperate for a job right out of college, but you can do better.
