The worst job i ever held

Pros

There are no pros in working at ULS. You will meet some of the most hardworking people and yet the company is going to drive them to their limits

Cons

From the scheduling of the employees itself and the work you have to do. The work is basically you will be saying the same lines, talking to the same people every day, about the same job. It gets very repetitive. Doing your job great does not result to you getting promoted nor a raise, but it means that they will give you the workload other people are supposed to be working on. The managers are very political. It’s just the worst company to work for.

Pros

Fast paced, so days go by fast. Nice place to work to work if you like having plenty to do. That being said, this is not a place for the lazy. Opportunities for overtime are offered for those interested. Managers are nice, easy to talk to, willing to listen and do what they can. The team in Scheduling Department is fun and energetic - a really friendly group of people. Company is growing so it seems like there will be a lot of opportunities coming up.

Cons

The office is kind of small and parking isn't great (but the company will pay for your Orca card if you want to ride the bus). Getting a new office really soon so that will be awesome.

Pros

The employees are fantastic and work really hard to keep this company afloat.

Cons

Unfortunately, I cannot give Universal Language Service a good review due to so many downsides of working here. I once arrived to ULS ready to work and full of hope for a happy work environment. For the first few months, things were going smoothly. I was being very compliant despite many outrageous rules such as the "Quiet Policy," and the insane micromanagement. And by micromanagement I mean, if you are away from your desk for more than 5 minutes to go to the restroom, all the managers + the CEO is notified. If you do not arrive to work on time, 5 minutes of each of your breaks are deducted. If you so much as click on a link to an outside website other than Salesforce, the managers are notified and you are in the back for a review. There are 7 cameras in just one of two hallways in the building monitoring you at every turn. I would take some friendly advice and really avoid working here unless you want your every second monitored. They boast this company is a family, but the hierarchy of the departments deems otherwise. Plus, there is no company culture. There were ideas of getting something started, but employees kept quitting and quitting due to these issues and there was never really interest shown by the management to revisit it. If you are working in the Scheduling department sticking it out and waiting for things to get better, they will not. It is a never-ending cycle and you would do best to avoid it. I really do regret typing a bad review, because this job has introduced me to some great people. However, I cannot sit idly by and be silent.
