Uline Employee Reviews about "dress code"

Pros

Top management really does care about you. Food is amazing in the cafe. Free massages, fitness center and personal trainer available. Training is really good. Beautiful office. Not just stuffy white walls. Bonuses are awesome. The cons are out weighed by all these pros

Cons

Business professional Dress code, can only have 5 personal items on your desk, strict 8-5 hours, clock in and clock out even for salary employees.

Pros

Pay, benefits, overtime, clean & it's a job

Cons

Where do I start? It's a very stiff, awkward and hostile company culture beginning at the interview process. You either fit in or you don't and if you don't, they make sure to either get rid of you or drive you out. Hard-core, right-wing environment, which may equal a hostile and awkward work environment for most. Very strict and ridiculous dress code, only 5 items allowed on your desk, no respect for work/life balance. You have to be VERY disciplined to work here. I am in the hiring process for a government position, which I will more than likely get, so I will not have to observe or take part in this toxicity any longer. Not all money is good money. And this is coming from somebody who blends beautifully in their environment but oh man, this is tremulturous to most people's mental health! ☹

Pros

Good pay. Exposure to lots of thing.

Cons

When I first started, I was excited about the opportunity, despite the quirks of a strict dress code, and having to clock in/out while being salaried.. However, their response to COVID-19, or lack thereof, has exposed their careless attitude and distrust towards employees. They were last of all known companies to allow corporate employees to work from home, and now, they're the first to force them back. Employees are beginning their return this week - May 26. Their precautions are laughable at best. No one is required to wear masks, and they're begrudgingly allowing people to eat at their desks. There's no rhyme or reason to how people are returning - we were told to sign up to come in for a day for the next couple weeks (no thought around percentage of employees in the office - they just want you in), and work force is all in, 100%, by mid June. NO ONE ELSE IS BEING THIS CARELESS. I like the people, and I like what I do, but I'm out as soon as I can. I can't work for a company that risks employee health because they simply don't trust them.

Pros

Excellent training while on boarding and continual training in role. Working for a privately owned company is much superior than working for a publicly traded company. Awesome benefits, especially year end bonus and profit sharing. Open communication with managers. Beautiful, clean facility. Feedback at all levels is listened to and process/procedure changes are made. Hourly wages with optional overtime available.

Cons

No recycling. Reactive approach to hiring/staffing and covid19. Strict dress code.

Pros

The people that work here are very passionate about what they do and helping others. I’ve never met a unfriendly person working for ULine. They provide a lot of opportunities for employees to not just learn more about the company, but other topics and situations that are happening outside of ULine. Food from cafe is very good and at a good price.

Cons

Strict dress code, can’t show any tattoos at anytime. Women have to wear skirts or dresses everyday besides Friday. Some of the opportunities for learning (I.e outside speakers) are very politically charged. Not really given any opportunities to express yourself or make yourself feel at home at your desk.
