Terrible company. Nothing to offer
order filler (Former Employee), Florida –
Cons: mandatory over time, no lunches, low pay, no ac, demeaning environment.
Company has secret layoffs. NO advancement. Company only cares about making money. Doesn't care about workers. NO AC. Long hours. Hostile aggressive management. Company hires ex military as bosses and we are treated like animals and stared at. Extremely hostile workplace.

Nice work environment, but mundane work
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Greenville, Illinois –
Pros: fun colleagues, equality between senior management and staff, excellent incentive programs
Cons: very strict with email, phone, and web surfing; bottom-up type of company, the work could be mundane at times
I really enjoyed working for this company. I was surround with excellent workmates (including top management). If I would have stayed with this company, I could definitely see myself growing with it. The only downfall was that they put me in a position that required no college level degree, even though I had a bachelors degree.

Bobbie – April 27, 2012

United is probably still using the same system from the 80s. They refuse to put any money into anything that will make things more efficient. A DOS based program is the main order entry program and you have to use 3 different systems to complete any sort of transaction. Check out some of their consumer websites and you can see how far behind the curve they are when it comes to technology. I currently work there and am amazed when I am able to find more product information from a customer's website than our own. Amazing...
