The first job I ever had, and the worst I’ll ever have.

Pros

You and your coworkers will hate your jobs so much that you’ll probably become best friends. There’s a great Thai place nearby.

Cons

I can only speak to my experience in the Internet department when I say that this is the most toxic place I will ever work. I started Uline out of college excited to learn and grateful for the opportunity to work for such a ‘successful’ and efficient company. For my first year I drank the kool-aid- kept my head down, took on extra work. The interesting thing about this department is that it’s like quick sand. The more you try to do to succeed, the more quickly you will sink. This is because promotions and relationships are not based on hard work or real achievements, but on personal feelings and who can yell the most ideas over everyone else in meetings. You get extra points if you can make someone else look stupid in front of management. Management in this department has been made aware of this type of overly-competitive, undermining culture on multiple occasions but nothing happens. Why? Because they are the source of it. The Internet department at Uline is run by incompetent, egotistical maniacs who hates anyone more technical or creative than them. Uline hires people like me because I didn’t know any better. They spam this page with fake reviews and tell you it’s harder to get into than Harvard, and you’ll feel special. Don’t let this be the first place you work because you will become jaded and exhaust yourself trying to succeed somewhere that doesn’t care how hard you work. Oh, and their “3 bonus programs” is worthless because when it times to negotiate for a higher pay, they’ll decline because suddenly your bonuses are considered a part of your base pay. Weird how that works. In case you can’t tell by now.. you should not work here.

We pride ourselves on hiring great managers and try to facilitate an environment in which hard work and quality results never go unnoticed. We also encourage employees to utilize our open-door policy and discuss their questions and feedback with management. If needed, our Human Resources department is always on hand to guide those conversations.Additionally, we are proud to offer our bonus programs to every employee at Uline because we truly are thankful for the hard work that our team members put in every day. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
