Uline reviews

Management needs to be evaluated. My manager was a bully and constantly put people down. She talked to members of the team like they were stupid. I received one dress code violation, and she scolded me and announced it loud enough for everyone to hear. People 3 rows over told me that they heard it. It was so embarrassing and should've been handled privately and professionally. Although she is good at most of her individual job tasks, she should not be a manager by any means. She plays favorites and treats people (especially men for some reason) unfairly. If she does not favor you, she will find a ridiculous reason to get rid of you whether they chase you out and force you to leave on your own, or terminate you. She is cruel and unprofessional. The turnover rate on that team is high and she is the main reason.

- Staffing. Management does not care about staffing for the employees. Since January 2016 to present (June 2016) there has been 40 people quit and move on to other jobs. 40 of 142 at the start of the year. And of that there has been less than 10 new hires. Of those 10 new hires 6 have been management of management trainees. - Overtime. I know that overtime is a nice bonus when you first start out but once the novelty wears off you find you spend close to 12 hours a day on the job when you really just want to go home and see your family. Not only is overtime mandatory, so is working holidays. You have to fill out PTO request forms 2 weeks in advance just to get off when your schedule says you're supposed to be off. -Pay. New hires with no experience in warehouse operations make more money going in than employees who have been with the company for several years. - Management. Management has shown very little regard to the overall morale of employees and has even openly insulted employees to their faces with no repercussions. While I understand that being thick skinned is part of the warehouse culture, being insulted by senior management at a meeting because the workload is burning out employees is not the best way to inspire morale. In addition management has routinely lied to the employees and falsified documents to ensure there isn't an investigation by corporate. *SIDENOTE: If anyone from corporate is in fact reading this, look at the reason for all the employees quitting in the 2016 year. I can guarantee that not a single person quit to go back to school like management has indicated.* - Lack of career advancement. While management says repeatedly that they are looking to promote from within the facts tell a different story: there has been no upwards promotion from the current employees in the last 2 years. - Safety concerns. OSHA would have a field day with the Seattle branch. There have been multiple instances where people who were unable to pass the training for operating heavy machinery were still passed and put on machinery just so there would be another body on the floor to assist in picking. We had an employee have his shoulder dislocated and put on light duty by his doctor, he was fed morphine and put on machinery so production wouldn't slow down. This is one of the many examples but rest assured, there are many more.
