Pros

Uline pays fairly well, at least where I was at but not more than other industries/companies, and vacation time is reasonable.

Cons

I'd call it micromanagement, but it's far worse. If you're on a phone call for more than 10 minutes, you have to explain who you were talking to, and why it took so long. If you have two children, you can have a picture of your son and daughter, but you can't have a picture of your son and a picture of your daughter. Only one personal item is allowed at your desk. If you leave an empty folder on your desk overnight, or a spare phone charger cord, you'll be talked at by your supervisor (I had 4 different levels of managers talk at me about having a charger on my desk overnight). Every year you're expected to go to a rally thanking Liz and her husband for permitting you to work there. When Liz walked through a new building, she noticed that she couldn't see through the building to look at the woods, had the entire floor reconfigured. A lot of moving departments for the sake of moving.

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.
