Uline, the family‑owned distributor of shipping, industrial and packaging supplies, announced a local hiring event for Reno residents on Thursday, August 20. The two‑hour event, scheduled from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., will focus on recruiting warehouse associates for both first‑shift (day) and second‑shift (night) positions.
Pay and benefits
Hourly wages for the openings range from $26 to $32 for day‑shift roles and $28 to $34 for night‑shift roles, depending on the specific shift and experience level. In addition to competitive pay, Uline says new hires receive health coverage, retirement savings options, and other benefits that begin on the first day of employment. The company also highlights on‑site perks, training programs, and clear pathways for career development.
Company background and local impact
Founded in 1980, Uline describes itself as North America’s leading distributor of shipping, industrial and packaging materials. The firm employs more than 10,000 people across 15 branch locations and 17 sales offices nationwide, and it offers same‑day shipping from its in‑stock inventory. Uline’s average employee tenure is reported as seven years, and the company has received both national and local recognition for its workplace culture and focus on employee growth.
Uline’s expansion into Reno is part of a broader strategy to increase its market presence in the western United States. The company expects the new hires to support growing demand for its distribution services in the region, contributing to the local economy through job creation and related business activity.
How to attend and interview options
Attendees will be able to speak directly with Uline representatives during the event. Two managers are available for pre‑scheduled interviews, though interviews will not be conducted on the day of the hiring event. Interested candidates can meet with Michael Wainscott, the warehouse manager, to learn about the hiring process, interview preparation, training resources, and day‑to‑day warehouse operations. Brian Wayer, Nevada branch manager, will discuss Uline’s nationwide growth, the economic impact of the Reno expansion, and the health and retirement benefits that begin on day one.
Applicants are encouraged to bring a résumé and be prepared to discuss relevant experience. While the event is open to the public, Uline notes that positions will be filled based on qualifications and fit with the company’s culture.
Community response
Local community leaders have welcomed the hiring event, noting that the addition of well‑paid, benefits‑rich positions aligns with Reno’s ongoing efforts to attract stable, family‑friendly employment opportunities.
