Pros

Pay, is about all I can say good about this company.

Cons

Work and Home life is nil. They work you 12 hours a day up to 16 hours a day with no days off. Your lucky if you get one day a week off. I had no life with my family. Worked holiday eves overnight so on the actual holiday all I could do was sleep. Hired several of us and after several weeks of working us like dogs called us all in and said you are no longer needed here. No explanation, no warnings.

Pros

Hard to find any pros now... nice new office with a view, Good products. Company store. Good stamp on the resume (I guess).

Cons

UL has lost its way. Used to be an exceptional company when it fundamentally was ethical, environmental and prioritized Customer and employee service. Its now clear that the company is being milked by the board for money. Layoffs, sketchy financial activity, disconnected leadership structures with no feedback loops. Office politics are rampant and you cant get promoted, UL creates their own "glass ceiling" to limit promotions. Multiple divestitures over the past years.
