Pros

Not really much at all here. You get a paycheck...until you're managed out or fired. Pay is around $17hr and raises are small.

Cons

The spike in positive reviews on here are from people inside the company. The rating on here is bad so how else do they hire talent, make fake reviews! You don't get treated well so HR coming on here to comment is basically saying everyone is actually treated bad. Uline has a funny way of wording things..they twist the truth. The website pay doesn't exist. They pretend to promote people but no one is promoted. The company doesn't hire anyone with management experience so it's a mess. The only reason the company is afloat is because uline sells overpriced products that you can buy elsewhere for cheaper .. and they don't pay you very much for destroying your live. I've seen so many great people tossed aside because someone else is next in line to take the bate. I wouldn't recommend a homeless person here. Stay away.

Does Not Care About Employees

Pros

I can't think of a single nice thing to say. The training program was thorough?

Cons

I was in a terrible accident in which they denied short term disability for. All of my hospital days were counted against me. I was written up for fainting and leaving chats unattended due to working with a concussion. They ultimately fired me for not complying to policy "attendance" standards dispite Doctor and hospital notes. I had just received a glowing year end review, but that didn't matter. This place pretends like they care about their employees, but they couldn't care less. 95 percent of these good reviews are written by the admins under company instruction.

Pros

Great bonuses, decent pay, beautiful corporate building, family run business with owners on site.

Cons

Micromanagement and a reluctance to promote from within the company. The owner's wife is very controlling of the business and keeps the culture very strict - recently they began enforcing a No Visible Tattoo type of policy to "cover up your bad mistake" in which employees are encouraged to cover up their tattoos with band-aids and ace bandage like sleeves (because having a staff that looks like they've all been injured looks better than a butterfly on the ankle).
