Pros

Your day goes by quickly because of the heavy workload and tight deadlines.

Cons

- Very stressful/toxic environment - Extremely fast paced - Constant pressure to perform - Impossible deadlines - Your cell phone will be taken away if the Steve (the CEO) sees you using it for any reason - Only one week of vacation after a year of employment - Low pay rate compared to other agencies in the area - Every raise comes with a the condition that you need to perform at a much higher level. If you don't, they will constantly harass you until you can meet the level that they are expecting - They have a very high turnover rate

Pros

iNET has a great atmosphere and a lot of great people! The work for designers has a lot of variety so you get to do a lot of different things every week. There's a lot of creative freedom with the work but it is still client-based so expect to make changes when necessary. A lot of reviews talk about big arguments, yelling, or just a tense work environment but I've never seen or experienced that my entire time here. Some other pros: - Pay increases are performance-based - Lots of independence with projects, there isn't a ton of oversight unless there needs to be (depends on the project) - Variety of work (websites, print, digital, etc.) - Opportunities to do some really fun projects - Friendly employees and management, departments are very close-knitted

Cons

You might see other reviews saying no direct deposit but that has since changed - there IS currently direct deposit. Some other cons: - No 401k - Might not be a good fit if you get overwhelmed easily or burnout quickly. Your workload can get pretty full at times and some projects have very tight deadlines. If you can manage that, then you'll do well!

Pros

iNET is like a family, you will have those you truly enjoy being around and those you just have to deal with, most employees are great. You get back what you put in, meaning if you put in the effort, you'll be rewarded with flexibility and increased pay. Being a smaller shop allows the freedom to work outside of the "normal" scope of your typical job, which is encouraged! The owner takes pride in knowing his employees and is quick to recognize when someone is putting in real effort. You'll always be busy so your work day simply flys by! Management is extremely flexible and understanding that sometimes, life happens. Management is open to new ideas and iNET is a great place to learn since you get to work in many different roles.

Cons

Can be stressful at times due to tight deadlines. Paper checks, that's right no direct deposit which after the novelty wares off becomes a slight inconvenience have to make a trip to the bank. Lower than average pay(at least in the beginning, there really is no cap to how much you can earn). Takes a long time to earn a meaningful amount of vacation time and no paid sick days.

Pros

Pay can be good Coworkers are generally smart and good to work with

Cons

Owners. Want to be screamed at (yes, screamed...as in, at the top of his lungs) daily? Work here. I was employed for 2 weeks here before I got out. I witnessed explosions from owners on a daily basis. And through discussions with other staff, discovered it wasn't just a bad week or 2 there, it is very common and ongoing for many years.

Hard Work is Rewarded

Pros

One night, a few months after starting, I stayed late to finish up a project I didn't want to leave until morning. The storage room adjacent was being cleared out and remodeled, as we're expanding and desperately needed the extra space. The doorway to the next room was just an unfinished frame. A few blocks of wood slapped up. Right around 6:00, one of the higher ups walks back into the new room. I'd only ever seen him in a shirt and tie. This time, he wears an old t-shirt. He's on the phone with someone I assumed to be his wife. He's staying late tonight. He hangs up, picks up a sanding sponge and begins sanding down the door frame. These are people you want to work for. Their vision is clear. They're in it with you. They care. Help them, and they help you. This job is what you make it. Want higher pay? Work hard, earn it, and you'll get it. Need help? Ask. The collaboration culture here is truly astonishing. Everyone is knee deep in work, so you might feel isolated and a little overwhelmed at times. However, ask someone for help, and they will drop everything to accommodate you. If you're like me, and you despise middle managers breathing down your neck, detest unnecessary overhead capping your wages, and want a career (not a job), iNET is for you.

Cons

Determining priorities is a constant battle. Lack of structure embraces creativity and innovation, but often feels like dangling over a cliff. Nose to the grindstone approach favors results, and organization takes a backseat---which occasionally affects productivity. Interdepartmental communication can be a struggle.

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

You get to work independently and don’t have someone watching over your shoulder all the time. As long as you don’t abuse that and you do good work, you won’t have any issues. You’ll get to work on a wide variety of projects and websites all with unique challenges, designs, etc. Pay is good and raises are performance based. At a point you’ll have to be more proactive and make your case for raises, but that’s normal and expected at any business. Some of the negative reviews on here I’m sure are legitimate, no business is perfect. But some of them are absurd and are clearly from disgruntled employees with an axe to grind. No one is counting or keeping track of your bathroom breaks. The CEO is normal and pleasant and you will rarely even interact with him. No one is screaming or fighting in the office. I’ve been here around 5 years and I’ve never seen anything close to what some of these reviews are describing. Minor issue to begin with, but some reviews mention physical checks. They have now setup direct deposit.

Cons

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.

Pros

I've been part of the iNET-Web Team as a Front-End Developer for five years, where I've had abundant opportunities for career growth and skill enhancement. The freedom to work independently has allowed me to explore creative solutions and take ownership of my projects, especially in challenging design environments. Pay and raises are directly linked to performance, fostering continuous improvement. Over the years, I've worked on diverse projects across different industries, which have kept me updated with industry trends and emerging technologies.

Cons

Budget restrictions can sometimes impact and frustrate developers striving for quality projects. There is a 401k plan (no matching), and direct deposit is currently being set up.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time here as a copywriter. The work was creative and engaging, and the team made it a great place to grow. Steve, the CEO, was a pleasure to work for and I valued our conversations about life and business. Nick, Head of SEO, is an outstanding leader—knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to explain complex concepts without frustration. He was very flexible and led with the motto of family first! Brian, Michael, and Shane (SEO leaders) are highly skilled and I learned so much from them. Overall, this is a company of talented, good people who want everyone to succeed. The addition of project managers has been a huge positive, creating more structure and clarity in the workflow. The culture is collaborative and overall a good environment for building skills. iNET is thriving as a business and I experienced positive career growth as a result. Put in the work, advocate for yourself/the value you bring, build personal relationships, and you will enjoy going to work here.

Cons

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.
