If you are fine with working long hours, you'll probably do well with it. The hours and work can definitely be a bit demanding, but if you're up for the challenge... I'd say go for it! :)

Yes, I did read a few reviews on glassdoor. Seems to be micromanaged which I dont like but everyone has a different perception so wanted to get an update from someone who is working or has worked there. No doubt Uline is a good brand but they suck the blood out of you which I am not comfortable with specially with an experience and being under the microscope.

I worked as an Account Manager at Uline for several years. The 50 hours a week is considered a minimum- overtime is not occasional and weekend work for 1-3 hours is common. You will also be timed to the minute on many things, including when you arrive/depart work.
It is a program that works very well for a very specific person.
The pay is decent, and my sales skills and productivity got a tremendous boost, which will be great for the rest of my career.
However, for anyone with a relationship they value, or young children, Uline will expect to take first place in your life regardless.

What do you mean "times to the minute" does that include sales calls in the field?

Did you get the position? Is there any other information you can share about this position based on your interview? I have an interview next week so I'm trying to get a better idea of everything before I go.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
