I applied online. I interviewed at Uline (Pleasant Prairie, WI) in Mar 2015
Interview
Several stages, and pointless assessments. They tested things like your ability to re-word a memos, and what kind of personality you have. Everyone was very friendly, but very weird. It was almost like I was applying for some type of cult. Glad I didn't end up working there.

Question 1
The position I was applying for apparently when closely hand in hand with Liz one of the owners. A lot of the questions were based on how well you can handle difficult people. They were straight forward about how tough she can be to deal with.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Uline in Aug 2015
Interview
4 online assessments prior to coming in. 2 more assessments when arrived on site for first round interview. 1 on 1 interview for half an hour walking through resume and typical interview questions.

Question 1
Why Uline and why this position?
How would your last employer describe you?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uline (Milwaukee, WI) in May 2015
Interview
My experience echoed other candidates: 4 assessments to do at home followed by 2 in person timed math tests upon arrival. I can understand a company wanting to do one online personality test (let's say to see if you'd be a good fit for a customer service position) but these tests are out-dated and don't set the tone for a very welcoming atmosphere.
I will add that during the interview I was told they post "attractive" and "general" job descriptions online in attempts to gain talent to apply-- even if they don't actually have those jobs available. In other words, they post click bait, and then waste your time! They compile all your info and then send it to corporate HR for evaluation. The process doesn't seem efficient for candidates or recruiters.
In addition, the company culture is archaic and suppressive and the business model still centers around a 600+ page catalog. Their e-comm site shows they have not adopted the digital age (it's circa early 2000's) and their reliance on their phonebook size catalog is not sustainable. Plus, they will struggle once their aged staff retires and they have neither the mentality nor technology to hire or retain a millennial or younger.
