Uline

Accounts Receivable Assistant

May - August 2022 • Pleasant Prairie, WI

What I liked

Real-work experience, client facing, had own portfolio of customers to hand. Were treated as if you were a real employee. Real entry-level work experience.

What I wish was different

More interaction between interns and between different departments. Not a lot of variation from day-to-day.

Advice

Great Corporate experience. Make sure you network with employees across different departments and get to know as many people as possible.

Product Management Intern

May - August 2022 • Pleasant Prairie, WI

What I liked

I enjoyed coming to work every day and being surrounded by welcoming and driven people. I was able to contribute to my team and do meaningful work that made a difference. I loved learning about the business and having a lot of responsibility to complete large projects. Uline interns get a lot of great exposure to upper-level management and work closely with many different departments to get a well-rounded view of the company. I also liked that I was able to live with other Uline interns and Uline put on events after work for interns. I built many great friendships with the other interns living in the housing. It was one of the biggest things I enjoyed outside of the internship.

What I wish was different

I really enjoyed everything. I personally wish I could have spent more time in Milwaukee, WI to see what it would be like to live there after college!

Advice

It's okay to not know everything. You will be pushed to work independently and solve problems you may have never experienced, but this is one of the biggest ways to learn and grow. Be ready and willing to take on challenges and be confident in your decision-making. Have an open mind and work hard!

Human Resource Intern

May - August 2022 • Pleasant Prairie, WI

What I liked

This opportunity did not only develop my overall knowledge of the Human Resource department and its functions, but it also helped me grow tremendously as a person. I have built amazing relationships with employees at Corporate as well as at the Illinois Branch. The people who work at Uline are nothing but great and want their interns to succeed in every way possible. I completed various projects in all HR fields and even had the opportunity to work as a Recruiter, where I hired a candidate for a full-time position! Overall, one of the best experiences I could've asked for and I am excited to continue my career at Uline!

What I wish was different

Absolutely nothing!

Advice

If you are going into an internship at Uline just know you are looked at as a full-time employee! You are expected to perform to the best of your abilities and work just as hard as the person next to you. Go into it open minded, everyone is there to help you find your niche!

Sales intern

June - August 2020 • Cranberry Township, PA

What I liked

I was pushed outside of my comfort zone and built confidence as a professional and salesperson. We received real life experience by actually interacting with customers on a daily basis.

What I wish was different

There are typically events where you get to meet the interns from other branches, but due to Covid these were canceled.

Advice

Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone because you'll be shocked what you are capable of.

Print Design Intern

May - August 2019 • Pleasant Prairie, WI

What I liked

I loved that this internship was very hands on. I was not fetching coffee, I was actually doing real work alongside full-time employees. And the company is really great about making sure you get the most out of the internship. Each week, they held "Lunch and Learns" so we could learn about other departments, as well as social and networking events to meet the other interns and just enjoy your time there.

What I wish was different

I wouldn't change a thing!

Advice

Uline is a business-professional company, so be sure to dress your best for your interview! And just make the most out of your three months with them. It goes by so quickly!

IT Infrastructure Intern

May - August 2019 • Kenosha, WI

What I liked

Coworkers, atmosphere, culture, large company corporate setting, managers are good mentors, networking opportunities with other branches in the company. You were given freedom to work a lot on your own which I was able to use and improve my IT skills. You were essentially another worker in IT.

What I wish was different

Advice

Always take initiative and ask the people around you about things they are working on. It shows that you are interested in learning more about the job and company. Don't be afraid to ask questions when you aren't sure about something.

Sales Account Representative

May - August 2018 • Cranberry Township, PA

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

I recommend finding an employer similar to mine and my experiences. Due to their interactive, hands-on internship, I was able to perform over 200+ sales calls, including cold calls, ride alongs with my bosses, and account calls. This allowed me to gain experience and knowledge that I never would've learned in just the classroom.
