Pros

Pay for customer service and warehouse is unmatched, product discounts, training program, clean buildings. Branch manager knows every employees name and actually has a soul. Very good at keeping employees up to date with industry standards and changes to prepare them for potential customer feedback.

Cons

absolutely horrid, hence the extremely high turnover rate and constant job postings. The company loses employees on a weekly basis whether it’s from being fired for not “being uline enough” or people quitting on the spot. Management has openly asked me to leave good reviews about the company thinking I enjoy working here......do not believe any 5 star reviews that mention hiring “the best of the best” or anything of that nature. It’s HR trying to retain talent since they have to fight against horrid reviews and terrible shift hours. Not referring people to other websites cause Glassdoor is awesome, but look them up on secondary sites where HR hasn’t littered the reviews with fake posts and you’ll see the truth about working here. Desk drawers are searched on a weekly basis and you’ll have emails on Monday asking you to clear out your cubicle. People walk around with iPads taking pictures of you when you’re working to report any cubicles not up to standards... highly distracting & degrading yet they won’t let you have more than 3 personal items on your desk to avoid distractions. Company doesn’t recycle yet it’s a multi billion dollar company. Employees constantly ask for this to change and facilities usually takes the recyclable items home to recycle themselves in their own free time...... off the clock. PTO must be chosen 6 months in advance or you will never get off. Due to the short staffing and turnover rate, it’s almost impossible to get off last minute for any reason. Don’t plan on going to the bathroom for more than 10 minutes or you’ll be “coached” the following day. Employee feedback is extremely opinionated and there’s so many “managers” that you constantly get inconsistent feedback. Company sends catalogs to people who don’t ask for them.. multiple times even after the people beg to be removed. There’s instances where organizations receive 500 page catalogs for every employee in the organization. Large customers continuously threaten to stop doing business with uline because of this. They have no regard for nature or anybody’s pleads to stop the mailings. Picture frames are measured at eye level with a ruler and measuring stick so it’s up to the families standards. Not a happy place to work despite the pay and benefits. Most people can’t wait to leave.

While we’re disappointed that you are unhappy with your current time at Uline, we appreciate you sharing your experiences. It is platforms like Glassdoor where employees can openly share constructive and honest feedback. Since Uline is a part of Glassdoor’s community, we follow all their policies, one being we cannot incentivize employees into leaving positive reviews. Every employee has their own experience, and they are free to share that. Our turnover is well below the industry average. As an employer of choice for over 6,000 team members, we always try to help our employees develop professionally, and sometimes that starts with a structured work environment. Management is always open to suggestions and feedback. If there is anything in particular that you or any current employee feels that we can do better, we recommend taking advantage of our open-door policy.
