Very Easy Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Wed, 11 Nov 2015

Interviewed null -1(took 5 days)
Complete waste of time for any experienced professional! The first "interview" is really just a guise to get you to go in so they can see how you look (age, and other things not visible on resume, if you get my drift) and take an IQ test in person (in addition to 5 other tests on personality, sales, math). They also are interested in knowing your salary and expectations. Every other company in the world does this over the phone so that they don't waste your time or their time. Evidently Uline likes to keep a lot of Human Resources people employed so they require candidates to drive from afar, take time off of work, get dressed up, etc. It really is profoundly unprofessional, and they don't even seem to know it. Be forewarned -- if you saw a good salary advertised with the job posting, it is probably a bait and switch tactic, or false advertising. It was apparent when I got there for the first "interview," they had no intention of paying the advertised amount (even though that was what I was currently making and I had the requisite experience). The interview took all of five minutes and while the HR rep was very nice, she was not interested in any of my answers except for the salary figure. After that was given, it was over and she said they'd contact me in about a week (said they work very fast). True to her word, they contacted me within a week and said they would pursue other candidates who had the experience and background closer to their needs (mind you, I have seen this position advertised for months so I doubt there are tons of candidates competing at the same time). Very comical, because they called me in for an interview based on the experience given on my resume, didn't ask any questions about my experience or background in the interview, and after seeing me in person and learning my salary (which was within the range given in the ad), decided I wasn't right for the job. Never even got to the interview where I would actually discuss my qualifications. A friend belongs to a job search support group and said Uline's reputation within that group is horrible and most people had negative things to say about the interview process. They guessed that perhaps they look at the IQ scores and try to hire people at the lower end, because the company does not value innovation or leadership. They want people who will do as they're told. The HR rep told me they also want people who will stay there a long time; they don't want workers using it as a stepping stone to a better job.

Interview Questions
She asked me twice why I wanted to work at Uline. Otherwise just basic questions about strengths, weaknesses and why I want to leave my current position.

It started with various examinations before the interview including myers briggs, then arriving the day of the interview receiving more wonderlic testing. Coming from academia I spent a long time researching and presenting how useless these tools really can be for job performance but they clearly put lots of emphasis into them. The actual interview started normal. I started trying to get more information about their needs and they couldn't provide me any. I asked about upcoming training that is needed and instructional approaches, they told me they don't have any needed training. I tried to get information about needs assessment, they told me they don't need for me to be doing needs assessment. I tried to asking and discussing performance analysis and performance gaps, they told me that is not needed. This continued as I wondered, if there is no training needed, no performance management, no needs assessment, no evaluations needed.... then what would they want me to be doing.... The next question out of the interviewer was, so if we hire you, what will you do day to day. I was at a loss because it appeared they did not know what they wanted, they were unable to give me any expectations. This position continued to appear on job boards for years, may still be available. They have refined the posting details in that time.

The interview process was quick and easy. I had to sign in upon arrival. I was directed to a room to wait for testing, prior to my interview. The test consisted of warehouse aptitude, including number sequences. Once I finished the test I was brought back into the room to wait for my interview. My interviewer was friendly and the questions were not hard.

Applied online through my college career website, then the next day I got a call from Human Resources to set up a phone interview. A few days later I had the phone interview, and at the end they asked me to drive to their office for another interview. The day after the second interview I got a call from Human Resources asking for references and said they would give me a final decision within the week.

I was scheduled for my first phone screen with the ULine E-Com Director (hiring manager) on Wednesday. I waited for that call but there was apparently a mistake in communication between HR and the Director so I never received a call. I was eventually rescheduled for Friday. On Friday, waiting for a call; and waiting; and waiting. The director was a no show AGAIN as he apparently went home! Sounds like they have some serious issues with their meeting scheduling system and communication. A week later I finally met with the E-Com Director. He was arrogant and non-apologetic for blowing me off TWICE. Would I want to work for this company? Absolutely not! DECLINED!!!

Once selected, I had to complete an online test. Then, print a hard copy of the employee application form including a personal profile form to be brought to the face to face interview. On arrival, I submitted the application and personal profile form to the receptionist. Shortly after, an administrative assistant greeted me and walked me into a meeting room explaining that there's a short test to do for general skills, most of which were mathematical type questions. I was given between 4-6 minutes to complete each section. Once the testing was complete the face to face interview with the HR manager started and lasted approximately 45 minutes. The interview consisted of standard interview questions and answers.

There were several personality-type assessments prior to the first in-person interview with HR. Once on site, there were two quick math tests. I was brought in on a different day for additional interviews and completed MS assessments prior to those interviews. Everyone I met with was very friendly and genuinely interested in my background.

Interviewed Dec 2015 in Seattle, WA(took 2 days)
Took a personality test which included a writing example as well as a lot of sales related questions. None of the questions related to analytics, logistics or supply chain. Which was odd for a operations analyst. They wanted me to come in for the first interview. I said I would like to do a phone screen first to make sure it was a good fit. Someone from HR contacted me over the phone and asked about my experience and why I was looking to leave my current company. She couldn't tell me anything about the job or about their supply chain processes, so it was hard to really understand what I'd be doing. Towards the end of the interview she said my experience was exactly what they were looking for and wanted me to come in and speak to the hiring manager. This is in Auburn almost an hour each way. I asked what the comp range was to see if it would be a good financial fit. Immediately she changed her tone. She said they were looking for someone who was excited about the job and wasn't worried about the compensation. I was stunned since she had been trying hard to get me to come in, now she didn't seem to want anything to do with me. In my experience comments like " We are looking for someone who was excited about the job and isn't worried about the compensation" means they aren't competitive in pay and are looking for some someone who is either desperate or isn't currently making much, where they can underpay them for their skills. I mentioned that I wouldn't take a step backwards in my financial position regardless of how much I wanted to do the job and they wouldn't want that from an employee anyways. Sounds like family owned and operated means I'll be working hard for someone else's benefit and wont be compensated accordingly for the interest of those at the top.

HR will describe the encounter as an interview, however, when you arrive, it is a large job fair (very mis leading). Before the interview, you take tests that have to do with sales and you personality, during the job fair, you take additional tests that are number sequences and pattern related.

Very quick and brief interview process. Not many questions. Seemed rush and took very little time to get the know the potential employer. Human resource employee seemed like she didn't care what the answers were she was just trying to make the interview as quick as possible. I was asked to stay for a second interview with 2 warehouse managers where they drilled you with questions trying to intimidate you.

Must pass tests with minimal errors, otherwise you have no chance. After, there's a serious of interviews with various leads and managers. Final interview is with Branch Manager. Be honest and keep good eye contact. If you only meet with one person, I am sorry, you did not get this job.

Interview Questions
Typical interview question. Biggest and most important answer to them is where do you see yourself in 5 years? Make sure to keep excellent eye contact. How did you hear about this Job? What makes you a people person? Make sure to be professional at all times. Uline definitely has a type of person they are looking for to be part of their culture. You could be lacking intelligence, however, if you look the part and act professional, there's a good chance you'll be hired.
