The interview process is very antiquated. 1st - The human resource representative could not answer basic questions regarding the position i.e. Why is the position open? Who does the open position report to? I was told that I should ask the human resource manager when I came in for the interview (which was comparable to a phone screening. The HR manager suggested that I ask the hiring team several questions) . 2nd - I had to take a 50 question Sales Assessment along with 3 other assessments before the interview. I was told that everyone had to take the Sales Assessment regardless of the position being applied for, 3rd - I had to take some numbers tests i.e. numbers sequencing and numbers verification. A simple phone screening could have saved both Uline and myself time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question on the Sales Assessment: What is an “objection” of a sale?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uline (Pleasant Prairie, WI) in Nov 2023
Interview
After application submitted...have a brief phone screen with someone I believe from HR who then schedules a formal interview. Zoom interview with standard interview questions. Talks about the company, says you must wear a collared shirt and tie and absolutely no remote work. Explains there would be 3-4 more interviews if it goes well.

Question 1
When you have multiple high priority tasks to complete, how do you choose which one to handle first?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Uline in Oct 2015
Interview
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!!!

Interview
They have a standard testing process no matter whatever position you apply. They have a fantastic office. Looks like the HR is just interviewing and doing non-stop. It hurts when I see so many candidates dressed up and come for a serious interview thinking they can get one but it doesn't looks like they are serious to hire.
