Uline reviews

Hard to Advance out of the department you are in

The Cons are as follows: - Strict Dress Code. - Salaried Employees are required to punch in and out. Your hours are monitored and your bonus is based on this. So sit around and hang out to rack up the hours. - Management is not on the same page. - Micromanagement, this place takes it to a whole new level. - Look up the lawsuits on this place. If you have been there for a long time they will protect you. - Strict policies on what can be in your cube (3 personal pictures and a tasteful calendar). No eating allowed at your desk either. - Management is set on their ways. Change does not happen unless it is their idea. This place still operates on AS400 Green Screens and Green Bar Reports. The warehouses does not use scanners. It's like the 1980s. - Growth opportunity is limited as there is a log jam at the middle management level. - They promote hiring from within, however when the time comes to hire they look externally rather than internally. - The test you take during the interview process weigh heavily on if you get hired. People have not been hired because of their personality type results from the Myers Briggs test. - Plan on spending your Fridays cleaning your cubicle as the owner does desk checks on the weekend. - The owners force their political views on their employees and customers. Just look at their catalogs. - HR posts fake reviews on sites like this to increase their overall score. - The reports and memos that are published are just an exercise. Change will not come from them. It really is all about publishing reports/memos. - I don't think management knows what value add is. - Don't question management or try to do things differently, it won't go well for you. - Management has been known to review user internet activity, drop in on call center employee calls unannounced, and check employees desks for food. - Many fear they will be fired and it is not a great work environment to be in. Management manages with fear. Pretty much stay away from this place if you can. Management wonders why turnover is high but does not listen to their employees. They hire a lot of young people out of college that do not know any better.
