The. Absolute. Worst.

Pros

Staff unity that provides much positive support.

Cons

The CEO is literally the worst person -- without doubt -- the worst I've ever met. He is a genuine obscenity. His technology is outdated, but good people try to make up for it. Sometimes they succeed, but the CEO demeans everyone regardless of performance. It's hard to believe things are this bad. Personally, I can't imagine that this type of work culture is even legal in Wisconsin, let alone acceptable. Don't walk away from this place. RUN!

Pros

You can do next to nothing once you're hired and you will probably not get fired.

Cons

Just graduated from college and desperate? You can do better. Washing dishes and sweeping floors is a less soul-crushing job. Horrible management. No training. The company is a scam and rips of clients that don't know any better. The CEO really does think he's a genius but he's more of a paranoid mess. Just read the Google Maps reviews and his responses to the negative ones and it'll tell you everything you need to know. Here is an example of the childishness, a response to a 1 star review: Rong like Ron, AaRON. Folks, a coincidence we have two a’s then ‘RON’ reacting to iNET’s radio response to ‘Ron’s angst? We think not, Two-a-RON. Two a’s and two stars? Masonic symbolism AaRon? Two-a-RON appears to be a real dude, just not an iNET client. Reading Two-a-RON’s online review profile is foray into divorcee, muddy intellectual depths only the self-awareness, sans the latter, a non-jerk, less than 20% tipping, poet critic, fueled three-or-four days a week by cocktails and fast food provides. iNET shouts out props to Two-a-RON for the humility in taking responsibility for not walking out the door. Like iNET, Two-a-RON has good things to say about a number of Lake Country and Dousman businesses. Two-a-RON got a load of gravel reminding us M to the U to the D to the T to the E to the C to the H is the best foundation waterproofing, helical pier and asphalt repair company in Lake Country on par with or better than the best anywhere. Wanna know the truth about iNET? Contact our real client M U D T E C H. iNET branding, website at the top of native search engines and ranking full stop Creative Genius inspired radio ads have catapulted M to the U to the D to the T to the E to the C to the H from great people doing best in industry work at beat all competitor prices to massive non-stop-growth doing best in industry work at beat all competitor prices. Food, NOT fast-food, for thought, when you need foundation repairs M to the U to the D to the T to the E to the C to the H digs up just what needs repairs, NOT ALL FOUR WALLS. iNET would be remise if we didn’t point out; un-ironically, there are a pair of a’s in “NOT ALL FOUR WALLS”. Illuminati code perhaps Two-a-RON? Who in their right mind responds to a 1 star review like that?

Pros

Umm... They have to legally pay you and most of the co workers are genuinely good people. Other than that. Drawing a blank...

Cons

Its a great place to work if you... 1.Like getting Screamed at Before anything has the possibility of going wrong. 2.Being called out in meetings to be made a fool in front of your co workers without justification. 3.The office is Full of BS Politics. (If you're not ready to kiss the bosses feet then you get pushed out the door.) 4. The Managements Theory on dead weight in the office is to not Fire anyone. They just torment you with harassment and verbal abuse until you quit. So they DON'T have to pay unemployment. 5.There is definitely an Elitist structure here. 6. The employee turnover rate is the fastest I've ever seen. In one of the years I counted there I saw at least an average of 2 per month. 7.No Direct Deposit because the "company is too Cheap" 8. The Tech department is a total Fire hazard. They work on Customers computers on temporary Saw horse tables with raw unfinished wood and Eat there Lunches over the Computers. Its a horror show. 9. No Break Room. Just a hallway with a nook and that's it. 10.No Heating in the Men's bathroom. In winter this is a Big issue. 11. Oh and last time I was there they canceled our simple Roth IRA. So bye bye retirement. (When they cut it the CEO of the company sent a letter with a paragraph explaining how this is the opportunity to invest in real estate and how that's the way to build a future. I think the people in 2009 who lost their house to the market crash will beg to differ). 12. A Grey environment. Limited natural lighting. Inconsistent Climate control. 13.Cheap Second hand office furniture. 14. People are not getting payed based on the amount of experience they have. Yet a percentage of Sales people are clearing 6 figures. If you get hired here. My advice is to Keep your job options open. There are a few people who are long timers but the look on there faces should indicate how this place treats their employees. Dealing with management is a different account. My advice is Just Stay away.

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.

Pros

It’s not a 24/7 place

Cons

Awful management. Awful workplace. Listening to coworkers get screamed at by a wannabe 5’0” boomer on his tiptoes is a daily occurrence. The CEO loves to put his family in management positions when they belong in a mental institution. It is a terrible place to work. Awful culture favoritism, remember watching any cliche movie on a toxic work environment? Well here it is. Top review states growth? Until they snip you away like a bad growing weed. Seriously, avoid at all costs.

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

Over the last 10+ years I've included a statement as part of my Goals and Objectives in my resume. And though it may sound generic I meant every word. "I want to be a valuable part of a marketing team, where my experience and passion for design can make a difference in its success." After working for multiple agencies and in-house design departments I have finally found an employer that makes me feel just that, VALUED! Before iNET I used to come home frustrated and stressed everyday from work because I wasn't allowed to do my best. Sounds weird I know but any creative thats ever worked under someone who wasn't creative knows what Im talking about. Not only has iNET allowed me to be creative, there are some in management pushing me to go farther then I felt comfortable going with awesome results. Though I've only worked at iNET for 8 months I can confirm passion and hard work gets noticed. Management including the CEO Steve Libbey, has gone out of his way more then once to let me know how much he appreciated the hard work. This is also a company that does care for it employees. Within a couple month period of time I was hospitalized twice. Naturally I was worried about the amount of time I've missed not having worked there long. Management let me know immediately not to worry about it "WE JUST WANT YOU HEALTHY". It was overwhelming the amount of genuine concern and happiness from everyone when I finally came back.

Cons

his is a true sink or swim place of employment! Could see this as a deal breaker for some. - If you do nothing you will drown here. - If you tread water and just do whats required, you might last a while but will probably be miserable not able to move forward in the company. - If you swim, get passionate about what your doing you will be successful. Even those who struggled where given a lifeline because they tried to be better. iNET is still learning to be the powerhouse it is. Processes and structure need to be refined and would maximize everyones potential.

Pros

Upper management is not very smart so once you figure them out they're pretty easy to dance around. Outside of sales, every job in the building is basically a sandbox. If you're new to web design or front end dev or SEO/web marketing, it's a fairly consequence-free environment to learn while getting paid (significantly under market value). Yes, you might get yelled at by a mostly inchoate baboon or two, but the world inside of iNET is entirely separate from the real world. No one really knows it exists, and the people who do regard it as a joke, so just learn everything you can while you can tolerate it, then move up to something better as soon as you outgrow them.

Cons

First things first, in the time I was there the turnover rate was above 100% per year. The cons are innumerable, but the one thing that arches above them all is that you will never, ever, ever make a market-rate salary. There are no shortage of terrible web and marketing firms out there, but at least some of them make up for it by throwing money at you to ignore the problems. Not here. Even when they agree to pay you more, it's usually attached to some kind of impossible condition. As I said above, it's an ok place to get your feet wet, especially if you're new to the field or lack experience, but don't believe them when they try to tell you you'll never succeed anywhere else. They have no pull with anyone of consequence and have no power over your career outside their walls. Oh, the CEO once wrote a 5,000 word article for a hobby magazine wherein he spent at least two-thirds of it deriding a pair of employees with unnecessary personal insults. He is a special kind of insecure snowflake.
