A true career and a place to grow

Operations Analyst (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 7 September 2023

I’ve been with Uline just over 7 years now. Uline is a highly structured organization and that of course, is not for everyone. They ask a lot from their employees but they also invest in them. Uline has been a fantastic employer to me and I’ve grown a lot in my time here, both professionally and personally. This truly could be a forever home for me.

Work-life balance is non-existent.

General Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 30 August 2023

10-10:30 start shift, with essentially mandatory overtime everyday, as well as mandatory weekend shifts and holiday shifts. A weeks leadtime is required if you want to leave at regular shift end time. Personal initiative and creativity is EXTREMELY frowned upon, with every little aspect of your job is watched, judged, and criticized. It is literally their way, in EVERY aspect of the job, or the highway.All tattoos must be covered.Leadership are the ONLY ones who can have a good idea, and change ONLY happens if it comes from head office.And the fact that they are ALWAYS hiring because of the constant turnover should be a red flag when choosing Uline as an employer.

Pros

Pay, end of year bonus. Fed lunch once a month.

Cons

Lack of work-home life balance. Mandatory overtime, weekends, & holiday. Cult-like company culture. Treated like a peon.

Poor Management - Lack of Accountability - Bias Company

Outside Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 2 August 2023

This company is very bias. They choose people based on their racial background. HR never gives opportunities to highly skilled individuals. Awful management and place to work.

Très mauvaise expérience en processus d'entretien

Account Manager (Former Employee) - Ottawa - 24 July 2023

J'étais contacté pour un entretien téléphonique, en passant cette étape, j'étais invité pour un entretien sur place avec le directeur de la succursale, il était gentil et professionnel néanmoin étant parfaitement francophone, il me disait qu'il y a des gens qui savent parler mais ne savent pas écrire ', chose que j'ai trouvée non professionnelle de sa part, j'ai dû passer le test de français (et y avait aussi des tests psychotechniques qui mesurent la rapidité et l'efficacité de la personne). Thanks god j'ai passé cette étape, j'ai reçu une invitation pour un autre entretien avec un autre responsable. En arrivant à la succursale le jour du dernier entretien, ils me disent que je vais passer l'entretien avec les RH et non la personne qui je devrais rencontrer (responsable des ventes si je me souviens bien). Mon cerveau a marqué erreur cet instant là.Le Monsieur des RH, était tout sauf professionnel. Il me posait des questions qui ont été déjà traitées lors des entretiens précédents , en répondant, il tourne la tête et se comporte d'une manière irrespetueuse envers son interlocuteur, comme si je ments à propos de mes diplômes et compétences ou je l'ennuie. Bref la compagnie est bien réputée, le poste est intéressant mais parfois on tombe sur des personnes qui nous changent la perception des choses.

Eh

Manager Assistant (Former Employee) - Canmore, AB - 24 July 2023

They went above and beyond to make ur life harder but try to grab people by how much they pay. You don't really learn too much and all the managers just want to get more.

God Awful Place to Work

Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 11 June 2023

This place has toxic managers that push you until you’re injured and they pay you a decent salary to cover your injuries,but nothing more. You should stay away from this place if you don’t want to have health problems for the rest of your life. The managers here are terrible

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Over worked, injuries, toxic workplace

Fake company

Forklift Operator (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 10 June 2023

Grabbing people by how much money you can make with this company. At last you get a test that is irrelevant to the job it self. Instead of them looking at your qualifications, experience and whether or not you really worked in the industry. That’s how you hire people.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Greedy

Unprofessional atmosphere

Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) - St. Albert, AB - 7 June 2023

If you want stress filled days , decent pay, poor management and a hr dept that will fire you for having a life ......this is the place . Better jobs out there that won't endanger you and management that will treat you better as well. Highly recommend not helping this company out with any labour position, management as well . It's reflected as soon as hired and you get told you will be terminated if you feel sick , have an appointment whatever personal stuff is going on .Avoid

Pros

Decent pay

Cons

Management, attitude, co workers, schedule

Good if you're young

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 10 May 2023

Uline's overall culture is toxic and this one of the main reasons for employee turnover. Every department at Uline experiences turnover which is quite appalling. The only thing the company is good at is paying above market - that's it!Do not expect any flexibility from the company especially in the customer service department unless you're ready to exchange it with your paid time off.

High Paced and Stressful

Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 3 May 2023

It's tough work for high pay. Hitting metrics is really important for managers. Will always accept overtime on weekends and most stat holidays. Turnover is high but the company is growing. Profit sharing, benefits and RRSP matching were outstanding, work life balance was lacking though.

Pros

Profit Sharing and great benefits

Cons

Long Hours and politics for career advancement

Outstanding Customer Experience - Winning Culture

Account Manager (Current Employee) - Milton, Ontario - 10 April 2023

Uline is a very well run organization with an excellent onboarding process and thorough training program. You will be setup to succeed in your role here.We receive consistent feedback, support, and coaching from management to ensure we're executing the program. There is limited independence in most roles, which may be a culture adjustment if coming from a company with less oversight.Overall, I would highly recommend Uline!

Pros

Customer Experience, Appropriate Work Load, Set up for Success, Professional Culture

Cons

Lack of Independence, PTO Model

Good compensation, supportive management, tools needed to complete your job

Warehouse Associate (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 10 April 2023

There are opportunities for advancement and learning new skills. It is a fast paced and detail oriented environment with new challenges each day. Management works very hands-on with their employees and offer lots of feedback. There is a generous compensation package including a RRSP match and profit sharing bonus.

Pros

profit sharing, employee engagement events, RRSP match

Good pay. Good training. But very traditional and strict

Sales Representative (Current Employee) - Canada - 2 January 2023

Good place to work if you do well with structure. Pay and benefits are great. Training is solid and there is always support available. Will learn valuable skills. Culture is old-school. Strict dress code. Micromanagement is the norm. Vacation and sick time not sufficient. Lots of long hours regularly.

Stressful, high expectations, pays good

Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) - St. Albert, AB - 22 December 2022

If you can handle the stresses of micromanaging, high production goals, fast paced, and constant pressure to do better. Then Uline pays great and has awesome benefits. Definitely not for everyone, and most people can handle the stresses.

Pros

Good Pay, good benefits

Cons

Managers play favourites, lots of micromanagement, they like to focus on negatives

Very poor judgement from the management

Warehouse Associate (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 22 November 2022

I worked at this place for 2 weeks and I was unfairly dismissed for something not related to work. Very poor management at the UPS packaging department. Extremely arrogant set of managers. Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!
