What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at this company is the incredible opportunity for growth. Hard work is truly recognized here, I went from a production worker to the national production manager in a short amount of time. The company really supports Career Development and gives you the tools and structure you need to succeed.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part would be the turnover rate. When Staffing levels drop, it can put extra pressure on the remaining team members and make it challenging to keep work clothes balanced. It can be tough ensuring the staff doesn't feel overworked while still keeping operations running smoothly. However, strong teamwork and communication helps ease that stress. The company showing their appreciation is what makes our teams so strong.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment and culture are very team focused and supportive. There is consistent communication, clear structure, and a strong sense of teamwork, so you never feel like you're handling things on your own. Leadership encourages growth and development, and hard work is always recognized. It's a place where people come together, help each other, and create a positive atmosphere that makes it easy to succeed and advance.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day at the company is structured, fast-paced, and very team-oriented. Everyone starts the day in a meeting with clear goals and strong communication so the whole team knows what's needed to be accomplished. There's a good balance of independent work and teamwork and no matter what role you're in you can count on support from others. The workflow is organized, the leadership is always available to answer questions or provide guidance. Even on busy days the team environment helps keep things running smoothly. Every day brings something different, but there is always a sense of purpose collaboration and progress.

I've been with this company for over five years, and looking back, it's been an incredible journey. I've grown both professionally and personally, gained valuable experience, and developed skills that I know will benefit me throughout my career.

One of the things I appreciate most is the opportunities for growth. If you're willing to put in the effort, learn, and take on new challenges, there are plenty of chances to develop. I've had the opportunity to work with supportive leaders and teammates who have helped me become more confident and capable in my role.

The company also values hard work and recognizes employees who consistently perform well. The culture encourages collaboration, and I've built great relationships with people across different teams over the years.

Day in and day out the goal is to buy/sell the most cardboard boxes as possible. Management does care about the growth and retention of UCB's employees, and will work with you during both the good and stressful times to find success and keep growing. Culture is being established but the company is fast paced, with the intent to see through goals to completion through public accountability. Management is always straight to the point which can be intimidating, but always in effort to push talks forward. Hardest part of the job is learning about the "lingo" to use it effectively in conversation, also having to rely on the team as a whole to build one's own book of business 
 to grow can be an obstacle.  The most enjoyable part of the job (to me) is the promotion of sustainability and seeing the shared success with large companies who were not reusing before, that and end of year celebrations where UCB will "share the wealth" with employees who contribute to it's continued success. 

I worked at UsedCardboardBoxes for more than two years now as a Customer Service Representative, and overall, I had a positive experience. The company culture was great, with a strong emphasis on collaboration and teamwork. Everyone was willing to help each other out, and I felt like I was part of a supportive community.

The management was also very supportive and approachable. They were always available to answer any questions or concerns I had, and they provided regular feedback on my work. This helped me to improve my skills and grow professionally.

In terms of the work itself, I found it challenging and engaging. There were always new projects and initiatives to work on, and I felt like I was constantly learning and developing my skills. The company also provided opportunities for training and professional development, which I took advantage of and found very valuable.

Overall, I would recommend UsedCardboardBoxes to anyone looking for a supportive and collaborative work environment, with opportunities for professional development and growth.

Ive busted my butt for almost two years there and during that time I always felt that there was alot of pressure to work hard but not enough advocating from management to gove workers a living wage. I started as a production associate and because of the big turnover rate I was always pressed to do majority of the training and would have people last a few days and lower my production rate. I became the production administrator and was basically doing my job the shift lead job and shipping and receiving coordinators job all at the same time without proper compensation. I did more to ensure the daily running of the company than management did and never did he advocate for me to get more money. The other positions that I was working as well all paid more than my position but they didnt want to give me more money and were happy to let me do all the work for free saving them thousands of dollars. I cant work for a company who doesn't care about me and is will to see everything that I didnfor them. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Since I started here, I feel like I am not alone even though I am working from home. As a BDR, they provide the tools I need and the training is very good. The management will not let you fall behind. They help you push yourself and show you that you can do it. The CEO of this company is very hands-on. He teaches you how to be successful.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As a BDR, the only stressful part is finding new appointments.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is positive and supportive. Even though we work from home, the team communicates well and helps each other. The management is very supportive and they make sure everyone has the tools and training to succeed. The culture is motivating and the leaders encourage us to do our best.

As the current Chief Revenue Officer of the company, my opinion on the matter is of course biased. I have been with the company for about a dozen years and have witnessed it's progression and evolution over time. The leadership of this company has always been employee centered and will continue to be such as we grow. This company comes from humble beginnings which did not always have the resources to take the best care of it's employees, but over time, compensation and employee benefits have continued to rise as the company has risen. A true value share is practiced at UsedCardboardBoxes that when the company does better, so will everyone who helps make it happen. I plan on being at UCB for another dozen years, and would encourage anyone else to join as well.

it is a pretty good place to work. i worked there for about a year and i did like it. i was on the morning shift so i came in at 6am and left around 2pm so after worki had plenty of time to get things in my personal life done and have plenty of time for work. the pay is pretty good, its 10 dollars a hour but after a certain amount you make more money for every order/pallet you complete so it makes making money pretty fast and easy as long as you want to work for it. or if you were having a rough day you could complete what was required of you for the day and then take it easy. the job is physically draining and will leave you pretty tired after work but it is worth it and the managers and other employees there are good people so it made working there a whole lot easier. so over all i would recommend to anyone that is looking for a job and doesn't mind alittle hard work to apply at usedcardboard boxes.com because its pretty comfortable there.

Working at UCB/UCBZW is a great experience and opportunity. The working environment is great, the top management are friendly and accommodating. They listen to each and every one of their employees. Transparency is advised so they will know what works best for everyone. To help their employee if there are need things or struggles that they are facing.

From my experience with my immediate Supervisor, she really give all her time for the team. She makes sure everyone is happy with their work and is performing well. When struggles comes, she will take a break and give her all to listen and hear out what the concern is. This makes a great leader to be able to go down a level to listen and to know how their team - employee - colleagues are. 

As for the employees, everyone is great. Friendly  , easy to work with, everyone supports each other and is ready to help when needed.

I have been working for UCBZeroWaste, LLC for 23 months now, as far as my whole being is concern, almost all of the Leaders here got a big heart; they have empathy not only sympathy. The Leaders  here (The Top Management & Middle Management), you can always approach them (via MS Chat Teams), if you have any concern/concerns, regardless if it is personal or work related, they are always willing to stop what they are doing, and willing to listen to your concern/concerns and give you all the help/support that you needed. The culture? It is a very calming culture. Peers are all kind, loving, caring, helpful and they always put their love into actions.
UCB & UCBZeroWaste, LLC companies, are a "Great Place To Work".
