Review from Operations Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Support employees more, take action when people confide in HR.
Hiring only black and white.
Leadership managing people and less favoritism
Zero communication. Not with the employees or even with themselves.
Listening to analysts and other employees ideas, most want to help the company, not hurt it.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Great benefits thst are low cost
Yearly bonus, insurance, and the extra activities/freebies they give us.
End of year bonus, pay is good.
Profit share bonus (has been near 20k before)
Probably the yearly bonus .
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Because if you’re not black or white. They won’t hire
Based on market pricing, accomplishments, workload, education, and seniority I should be at a higher compensation bracket
They should respect they're employees, its a very strict company
What are some of the best things about your team?
The people who work in the cubicles at Uline corporate are amazing and caring people. We work hard together and support one another. I would venture to say there is a trauma bond that forces employees to care for each other more than in a healthy work environment.
co-workers are the best - too bad they aren't valued as they should
My team is great. Everyone does their part and doesn't leave it to the other person. Manager is also fair and effective.
We are hand-in-hand on everything They would help you without any hesitation when you need help

Review from Operations Dept

Review from Operations Dept
Compensation and bonuses provided to employees
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Loosen up the dress/shirt/tie requirement
There needs to be flexibility for employees and an understanding that everyone is an individual with different needs, concerns, and struggles.
The far-right culture that fosters the worship of the family owners and their politics needs to go away. The culture is many decades behind and decisions take forever because of the bottleneck at the top.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Talking to the manager, if you even get that far.
The interviewers were great - but that's not a surprise
The tests and double interview
Review from Operations Dept
If they are interested they quickly move you along...if not, you get an email.
Review from Operations Dept
It was quick and to the point
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
More empathy and human interaction.
There are too many interviews. People jump through hoops for so many rounds when most other companies require much less. They say it is because they have a stringent interview process, but based on managers discussing openly after it seems there is more focus on how far someone will bend.
Remove the drug, personality and writing test that provides zero value and insight into a candidate's abilities.
What makes you most happy at work?
Just have to grind till the next paycheck to put food on the table for my family.
They appreciate your hard work
Review from Operations Dept
Supporting my family and having a job
Review from Operations Dept
Knowing what I need to do and asking for help when I need it
Review from Operations Dept
If you see how Uline operates, you would be surprised how much they care about their customers. That makes me happy as an account manager. To represent a company that knows their customers and serves them well.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Stop using antiquated management styles
There is not a desire to try new ideas or metrics to help the company become more efficient. That, along with losing young employees and especially women due to lack of respect and trust in their work creates a sad work environment.
The leadership is incapable of making fast decisions because of family-centric management and their values.
They rarely promote from within. There is very little room to grow if you are a minority even if your qualifications meet or exceed what they are looking for. Managers are promoting their favorites opposed to people who are capable of doing the job.
