Pros

Uline has great employees working here! Instead of worrying about how many people they need to cut each year, managers are focused on how many MORE people they need to hire. They keep the workload of everyone manageable, so that everyone can have a life outside of work. Some of the great benefits are as follows: -Competitive Salary -Competent work associates -Friendly and professional working atmosphere -Encourages employee growth (both leadership skills and technical skills) -Active sponsor in the community -On-site gym with trainers -Beautiful campus with outdoor walking paths

Cons

Healthcare - As with all insurance programs these days, monthly cost is high, deductibles are high, and out-of-pocket max is high. I really hope things can go back to how they were prior Obamacare era. Work Hours - Not all positions are the ideal 8-4:30. Warehouse employees work difficult hours that don't allow a lot of family time in the evening on weekdays. For office positions, a majority of the time work hours are ideal. Managers - As with all companies, there are some managers that have a deep "Red" personality, and they don't encourage utilizing each employee to their maximum potential. Having said that, probably 90%+ of the managers are incredible! (friendly, motivating, and give their team credit where deserved)

Pros

Unique culture that makes you feel a part of a family. Their is always support in your role. Anytime I ask for help, or a request, people are willing to help or point me in the right direction. The people who work here really make Uline what it is. The benefits are great, pay is higher than most places for all positions, from what I see. They really want their employees to live a comfortable life. The Work life balance is important here and it is practiced. Their are many work events that keep making coming to work interesting, rather than the same work day everyday. Many tools and resources provided so you are successful in your role. Extensive training so you are not just thrown into your job. Open communication and feedback which really helps one feel secure in your work and role. The work is enjoyable because you see it make a difference.

Cons

Unfortunately, Uline Employees are sometimes associated with the President & CEO's personal opinions. There is a lack of diversity, but from what I hear they are working on it. Things are slow to move at times. Sometimes things shouldn't need a long drawn out explanation why it should be done. Slow to evolve in some areas.

Pros

This privately held company focuses on driving financial performance, through their associates providing what the customer requests. The focus on the customer requests delivers YOY results. Similar to other companies, the expectations are to work collaboratively, accurately and quickly. The senior management decision making is centered around the goals for the company. The culture and facilities are geared to delivering on those goals. At Uline we work efficiently to achieve our daily top objectives without creating work life OUT of balance. I am pleased with my employment decision and proud to be a member of the Uline team.
