Pros

Everyone is very helpful but if your not part of the global team your invisible.

Cons

Upper management is only concerned with the bottom line, orders. They should be looking at revenue per output. I have no idea how this company has stayed in business so long working like this. Smaller business would die on this type of momentum. They are constantly trying to figure out how to keep their employees. Survey after survey yet they do very little about what they receive. If they are looking to keep employees it may be best to offer more than 10 days vacation. It is very hard for those who do not live by family to see them at all if you work at UL and only have a few days vacation. Most companies are offering 3 -4 weeks vacation per year. Some flexibility and working from home would be an eye catcher, too.

UL Solutions Response

Thank you for the valuable work you do as an Inside Sales Rep! On top of our vacation policy, we also offer incidental absent time (sick days), paid holidays, two “floating” holidays, as well as two paid work days to volunteer. Also, UL does have a flexible working policy that allows for some work-from-home scenarios for eligible roles, depending on the nature of the job.

Pros

The lower level employees that work at the company are amazing. Considered them to be family and because of them made it very hard to leave the company. UL EHS Sustainability in Franklin, is attempting to fix their culture. They have installed a shuffle board in the kitchen to encourage lunchtime activities, they have a ping pong table in an office room.

Cons

Higher up executives prefers people to be in the office always and walk around to see who is on time or who is working late. Upper management prefers people who fall in line. New ideas are not encouraged. Direct manager did not encourage development and felt threatened by the relationships formed. Specifically UL EHS Sustainability, NOT UL in Chicago, does not know who they want to be. After acquiring a company in England to stay afloat they additional solutions. This changed how the company operated and they are still figuring it out. Because it is an international company there is little work life balance. One typically wakes up to emails and goes to bed with emails. It can be very stressful.
