UILabel displaying (null) in custom UItableviewcell

I can't figure out why my UILabels in my custom TableViewCell are nil in CellForRowAtIndexPath. I used the same method as I did for a previous TableView in another view Controller. Here's what I already checked:

I am able to change the background color of the cell and populate the textLabel.text -- it's just my UILabels that aren't filled.

Here is CellForRowAtIndexPath. It's the exact same method as my other TableVC, which works. Also, I don't need to actually reuse this custom cell, should I be using a different method?

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

static NSString *CellIdentifierProfile = @"profilecell";
ProfileSection0TableViewCell *profilecell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifierProfile];

     if (profilecell == nil) {
        profilecell = [[ProfileSection0TableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifierProfile];
     }

     if (indexPath.section == 0) {
         [profilecell setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:54/255.0f green:61/255.0f blue:147/255.0f alpha:1.0f]];

         if (indexPath.row == 0) {
            profilecell.labelName.text = _userProfile.fullName;
            NSString *test = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", profilecell.labelName.text];
            NSLog(@"text %@", test); //shows that label is (null)

            profilecell.labelName.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

            //profilecell.labelSpecialty.text = _userProfile.specialty;
            //profilecell.labelSpecialty.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

        }
    }
    return profilecell;
}

Thanks so much in advance.

.h file:

    @interface ProfileSection0TableViewCell : UITableViewCell
    @property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel* labelName;
    @property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel* labelSpecialty;
    @property (nonatomic, weak ) IBOutlet UILabel* labelCurrentRole;
    @property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel* labelPosition;
    @property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UIButton* facePicture;
    @end

.m file:

    @implementation ProfileSection0TableViewCell
    @synthesize  labelName, labelSpecialty, labelPosition, facePicture, labelCurrentRole;

    @end

EDIT:

It looks like ProfileSection0TableViewCell is allocated properly, but the member vars inside the cell are nil. And in outlets, here are the connections:

Either _userProfile.fullName is nil or profilecell.labelName is nil

If you made the cell in interface builder, did you hook up the outlet to labelName correctly?
