Pros

1. Health Benefits (If full time) are okay. You could probably honestly get the same if not better insurance working a minimum wage job. 2. Potential to earn / receive quarterly or annual bonuses. 3. Flex schedule. 4. "Competitive wages" 5. Minimal job micromanagement. 6. Quarterly Manager check-ins. (Love these personally) 7. Fast paced work environment. (I love the fast paced work) 8. The people on my team(s) are great, love our staff! 9. Constantly updating safety science standards and procedures to help make the world a safer place. 10. Community service opportunities.

Cons

Unfortunately within the company, there have been lots.. and lots of layoffs in the last year. (Not a secret, available knowledge online) Most are employees of 5-20+ years. UL solutions HR is able to "help" most staff to find other positions available within UL Solutions. Though, HR in my experience is fairly biased towards upper management, so it can be hard to still find an available position at UL if you were laid off. Unless HR took part in your lay off, then you have almost no chance of getting back in. If you are looking for a morally sound place, I personally would not recommend. Yes, UL does an amazing job helping to improve product safety, especially in the electrical and automotive fields, but in my opinion; one of their flaws is the complete lack of empathy towards those who are in lower management, base line employees, part-time and even interns. If they would spend more time focusing on the employees they currently have instead of hiring more and more executives from outside of the company, maybe they would have a better approval rating on this Glass Door site. Salaries could be better, though still good as far as base pay. Based on local (my local) positions with the same title, other places are making almost $10 more per hour than those at UL. -public knowledge on wage averages per job title.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. It is true that over the past two years we have had more accelerated change to better serve our customers. Our employees remain a top priority while being an employer of choice. We know that having happy customers begins with having happy employees.

Pros

The people make the company, despite poor CEO. The coworkers and front line employees (long term and short term), show their commitment and passion for the company.

Cons

Poor CEO. Tries hard, but not very transparent, not trusted, most staff just waiting for CEO to leave when tenure is up. Staff really are committed and are the pulse of the company, which keeps company moving in right direction even with CEO situation.
