iNET Web reviews about "benefit"

Benefits get an F: no direct deposit, no sick days, holidays are minimal (no labor day) Lack of business structure results in many people assuming many roles. Critical infrastructure is only replaced when it fails. Projects are compromised by poor budgeting, best practices are afterthoughts. Sales people lack scruples and will sell a product that has no potential to succeed.

The only downside would be the benefits offered by the company

- High turn over: People don't stay long because it's such a toxic place to work - Complaining: Most of the people I know that work here complain about it outside of the office - Management: Don't really seem to care for what the employees know and only really reward people who kiss their butt. - No direct deposit: What is this, 1990?

- Chairs + Furniture is very uncomfortable - Way more SEO focused writing. Minimal creative copywriting. - Minimal upward mobility position wise but raises are very frequent - benefits are non-existent

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.

They will spend more time trying to get this deleted/cover it up with fake positive reviews than actually taking steps to make themselves better, so I will keep this short. If you are desperate for a job - literally risking living on the streets - go ahead and take a job here until you can get back on your feet. If you have ANY other option, skip past this one. My experience at iNet did not advance me in any way, and despite having over a year of experience, I left iNet at square one because no one in the industry considers iNet experience real experience. Other digital marketing companies view hiring former iNet employees as a rescue mission. The company is often described by other agencies as “a puppy mill for marketers.” NO one is threatened by them as far as client success, because all the tactics they use are unethical and there is no real skill used in their marketing “strategies.” Everyone laughs at them as they run around thinking they’re the big dogs - It’s honestly kind of adorable now that I’m back out in the real world. At the agency I’m at now, I am making nearly twice as much money, with a more comprehensive benefits package, 401k, unlimited time off, and professional development opportunities, all while doing half the “work” I did at this place. The difference is the work matters because there’s actual formal training at my latest company, while everything at inet is “figure it out yourself,” so no one knows how to do anything. If you want to make a livable wage doing something that matters even the smallest amount, look for something else.

Benefits could be better depending on your situation. Takes a few years to build up a meaningful amount of PTO, but I’ve also never seen time-off requests denied (paid or unpaid), so you can still take whatever time off you need. My only real gripe is no 401k, but so far the pay has been good enough for it to not be a deal breaker personally.

At times, the workload and the time allotted didn’t align. This was a major challenge at first, though it has improved in recent months with the addition of project managers. Feedback could be stronger to reduce wasted time. While some leaders gave clear direction, others offered vague input, leaving questions like “What value does this project bring to the client?” Too often, actionable guidance required extra effort among super high expectations. The company is a great fit for someone early in their career, but the benefits package wasn’t what I needed for my family and ultimately led to my departure. Specifically, PTO, health insurance premiums, holiday pay (5 days), and the lack of a matching 401k. Flexibility and understanding were never an issue and a huge pro of working here.

-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.
