I have worked for Uplift for 3.5 years. It has by far been the best job that I have ever had; the job is rewarding, the product is easy to get behind, the office/company culture is wonderful and the benefits are a great perk. 

Rewarding - I come to work and am busy from the time I start to the time I leave. There is always work to do, and I have taken on quite a few new responsibilities than what I had when I first started working here. At the end of the day when I leave I know that I put in good quality work and didn't feel like my time was ever 'wasted' here.

Product - It is easy to get behind (or stand up with) all of the really cool office furniture and equipment that is encouraged to promote healthy living. In my time here, I have lost 20 pounds just by using the stuff this company provides us and eating from the free kitchen. The company is always striving to find new and innovative products. It is easy to support a company like that; the CEO is a brilliant businessman.

Culture - We have a great culture here which is encouraged by almost all who work here. Outings and vacations are planned together outside of the company, and friendship is encouraged.

Benefits - Maybe being a little older has its disadvantages in that I see everything the company does for us as a benefit that should be appreciated, not expected. We have company trips and events, sport tickets, a kitchen full of food, team lunch, massages, bonuses, parties, etc. The insurance is a standard employee paid 30% - and it is REALLY good insurance. I paid 0 dollars when I was hospitalized for 3 days. There is PTO, flu shots, 401K with a 4% match. And a ping pong table. 

A note on the CEO - I see a lot of people complain about him and 'his wife.' It drives me insane. The CEO and wife are the most generous people I have ever met, and wouldn't say no to anyone in need. I have seen them drop money on employees extended families who were affected by hurricanes in other states, provide another employee with 100 pairs of glasses just because he kept losing his, and give me a small bonus while I was newly employed and in the hospital because I wouldn't receive a paycheck. These are things they do because they are genuinely good people. A few of these reviews also act like 'the wife' has no experience in People Relations, but she has a lot of time under her belt and is very good at overseeing the HR department. She is always actively looking at new ways to make the company and the culture better. The reason this place is so great is because it is easy to work for great people.

Cons - bad coworkers. All jobs have a couple bad coworkers, and once they are gone, a new bad coworker will pop up. The con is working with people who are not willing to work, and having to pull the extra workload because of them. When coworkers are constantly negative it really puts a strain on those around them especially when work is busy.

I've been here a long time and there is always new challenges that are being overcome. The company keeps evolving and getting better at everything it does. The vast majority of my coworkers are really cool, try hard to do their job, and are rewarded for the value they bring. 

There isn't a "good ol' boy" type network, or an emphasis on superficial pedigree. We're valued and rewarded for our work ethic and intelligence. 

Most jobs here are not easy, they're challenging, which makes the day go fast and provides room for individual growth, if you're willing to take advantage of the opportunity available and get something done. 

Being a fast growing business, there's hiccups involved with scale, and myself and a lot of my coworkers have to wear many hats. Some people don't like this and can't handle it, some people thrive. That's not every job and as the company grows, this is less of a problem, but it's definitely still present, the end result is employees that are resilient, flexible, and knowledgeable. I like working at a place where people don't say "that's not my job", they help in some way, at least by pointing you in the right direction.

I've seen so many coworkers that started out at the lowest levels of the organization be given the opportunity to make advancement, and then flourish. I really enjoy being in this family-like environment. 

The management team here truly does listen and care about the employees. I've had the COO himself assist me with both professional and personal concerns. I've seen the same occur with most other managers as well. They don't always have the magic button for immediate results, but the majority of issues do get addressed and improved, just like every other facet of this company.

I’ve been with this company for awhile now.  So, the pros: I feel like the pay is very compititive.  I have seen a lot of people I started with move up and do other things with the company.  They definitely take care of you here.  Theres a lot of perc’s I’m not used to at other places …. good benefits, they put free food in the break room, they give us bonus for hitting goals.  All around they really treat there people right.  I feel like the higher up’s really have the ship pointed in the right direction.

The warehouse has a fun atmosphere but we work really hard, too.  The only con I would say is that some people with bad attitude or who don’t work really hard got to make it too long, but mgmt. just changed for my dept and it looks like they are adressing those people and getting them out the door trying to make things better.  I feel like our team keeps getting stronger.  I think the thing I like most is the feeling of accomplishment seeing this company grow and watching our team smash goals every year.

I’ve learned a lot of things working here. Everyone from the leads to my dept super to managers have really gone out of their way to make sure I am happy and learning new skills.  When I started I didn't have a lot of computer experience but they trained me and now I spend a lot of my day at a computer.  All in all, I definitely recommend.  This is the kind of place you can build a career.

I am having a beautiful experience here. I found my strength and have loyalty towards my job managing office workers in a great environment.  The CEO and COO have been here a long time and know how to make the company successful.  I’ve been learning from and listening to them, they almost always steer me right.  Overall the experience is great.  We are a stable, busy, and very successful office furniture manufacturing and retail/ecommerce company. The employees are a diverse, hardworking, creative group. It’s a pleasant work environment. Pay and benefits are great. 401K - 4% matching too. The workers are friendly and care about each other. The management is very successful. This business is going to dominate the office furniture industry, it’s just a matter of time.

Before UPLIFT I had jobs I enjoyed, but I feel like I’ve actually found a belonging at UPLIFT. UPLIFT is the perfect space for me—there is room for growth, enough structure to guide you but still room for creativity, and leadership really cares about you as an individual. It’s easy to believe in our mission to actually help customers when you see it every day and it’s so rare to see this genuine care for employees and customers from the top down like it is at UPLIFT. I’ve grown so much in my first year here and I attribute a lot of it to the guidance from leadership whenever I needed it and the incredible team we have. I haven’t ever had a job where everyone is passionate about what they do and having fun with it, it makes sense why so many people have worked here for years and I’m looking forward to many years to come. 

I started here several years ago in customer service and have worked my way into sales, where I now get to handle some of the largest and most complex deals. I didn’t have any formal sales experience prior to this job, but the company gave me the tools and guidance I needed to grow into this role. I’ve had several different managers along the way, and I’ve learned something valuable from each of them that’s helped me get to where I am today.

The culture here is one of hard work, but there’s also time to connect with coworkers—whether it’s team lunches or company events. Things can get busy with new clients, and though at times it can feel overwhelming, they do a good job at rewarding you for the effort you put it. The team is really supportive, people have your back when you need it, and we make a point of celebrating each other’s wins along the way.

It is a popularity and political contest. Absolutely NO consistency with discipline or advancement. If you are “IN” with the owner and COO and HR director, the owners wife, you will go no where! Promises are completely empty. Employees are bullied all the time. If you do not work weekends at the warehouses you will be disciplined even when during the interview process they tell you they are “optional”. SOME get “hazard” pay for working in the warehouse, some do not. Depends if they like you. Human Resources used to be a trustworthy department. They do not believe in quarantine. They want you working no matter if at home or in the warehouse. Supposed to have a 90 day review - did not happen. When questioned, no one has “time”. 
I’m glad to have a job, but honesty here does not exist! 

A typical day at work as a warehouse associate could be anything from picking orders, forklift operation, restocking,  shipping freight orders depending where you are assigned. Working here has taught me that having a good attitude every day ,coming to work , and giving it your best does not go unnoticed. Opportunities for advancement are there ,but  you have to be willing to put in the time and effort to achieve your career goals. This job can be physically demanding  and fast paced with necessity of accuracy. There are some days you might have to stay late but that comes with most jobs. There are some great people that work here that only makes working here that much better. If you are a go getter and have a can do attitude this could be the place for you.

This company only wants a "yes man" and has no room for growth in any department. This company will run you to the ground while making you work multiple positions but will pay you the bare minimum or show you their appreciation with a Donmino's pizza party. If you work in the warehouse you'll be considered a 2nd class worker and if you work in the Offices, it's the most toxic environment you'll be stepping into. Management isn't helpful and HR barely stays around long enough to matter. I was employed here before COVID and work a bit after and nothing really changed for the better. I didn't enjoy working here and you're better off working somewhere else. 

I would say that my experience at UPLIFT has been positive.  I am respected and valued for the work that I do for the company.  I have almost complete autonomy of the work that I produce.   The same can not be said for other members of the  team.  There is a major problem with overstepping from one area of expertise to another without the proper experience, education and know how. If members of the company could stay in their field of expertise and trust the other members to do their jobs diligently, the moral of the company would be much higher.  This is an at will company so to survive you must either hit hard the day you start and keep your foot on the gas.
