Good benefits. Nagging management

Pros

Their benefits, year-end profit sharing and $100 bonuses when beating a previous record are great.

Cons

If you make 1 error in the month, you're asked to have zero errors the following month. If you meet that goal of zero errors, they'll notice your productivity is low, even though your matching team goals. You increase your productivity with zero goals. BIG EFFIN DEAL! The leads and management will say you've only done that for one month. Then you do it two months in a row, three months in a row, four months in a row exceeding productivity with zero errors, BIG EFFIN DEAL! It is never ever NEVER EVER enough with that company. The analogy I tell people is: imagine having a decent house, nice car, decent money, but your spouse is CONSTANTLY NAGGING you. After a while you'll give up the house, car and money just to get the hell away from Liz Uline, I mean, your Coke Zero drinking spouse with NO shoes on. No wonder her husband Richard (I had to edit his first name) Richard Uline has his own separate private jet. Even he can't stand her.

We might employ more than 9,000 employees across North America, but at Uline we strive to make each one of our team members feel like a part of the team. Though we like to push employees to reach their full potential, our intention is certainly not to push our people away from the company. When employees feel stuck, we strongly encourage them to discuss their concerns with their manager.

Great start up job for beginners.

Cons

Bad management, seems like they work against you even if you’re strategically doing your job for the better of the company if it’s not their way.

Pros

-Continuously growing company with no sign of slowing down -Great amenities (state of the art walking trails, gym, extremely clean buildings, subsidized cafe with amazing food), better pay than average, reliable bonuses -Fun, nice and helpful employees. Everyone is willing to chip in to get the job done or to get your question answered -Recent changes in leadership have shifted the Purchasing department to be more aligned, allowing you to focus on specific categories and become an expert on your products -"Create Your Own Day" type workload, which allows for flexibility on when you complete tasks or when you take your lunch break -Flexible hours, within reason. Standard hours are 7am-4pm (with a 1 hour lunch), with the latest start time being 9am -Most expectations are clearly laid out -16 days PTO to start, 21 after 5 years, 26 after 15 -Uline covers the cost of Short Term and Long Term Disability Insurance -401k and 401roth options with 5% company match -Infertility treatments covered at 80% by insurance, up to $100k -Specific vaccines not required

-No WFH -Strict rules of dress code and desk "cleanliness" are enforced -Dress Code: ties daily for men, dresses and skirts or full suit for women, tights required for women 6 months of the year -Hours are tracked and reported on (must clock in and out daily, required to average 45 hours each week) -No sick time - PTO is to be used anytime you are out of the office -FMLA/Short Term Disability for Maternity leave (STD paid at 60% for 6 weeks, 6 weeks unpaid) -Audit culture has somewhat relaxed, but is very dependent on your director
