Pros

Decent pay and PTO, WFH opportunities. Gave me the experience on my resume to find a better job.

Cons

I worked UL EHSS, but I've heard many of the same stories from UL Corporate. Extremely mismanaged and poorly run. Senior management is focused on revenue only, and is very disconnected and out of touch with employees. Employee retention is atrocious. Virtually NO training at all, and the company does not foster an environment that promotes sharing knowledge. There is zero business process documentation, and everyone does the same task differently. Be prepared to just get thrown into your position and figure out how to do it yourself. Management would regularly charge unnecessary travel and entertainment expenses to the company, and yet layoffs occurred 3+ times per year.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
