Pros

Paid time off ok pay

Cons

This is one of the worst companies that you could ever work for. In the year 2020 Univar is the whitest company you will ever see. They comment on the reviews about diversity by saying they are a part of Black and Women networks. That is great that you are a part of these networks but where are the stats showing you are diverse. How many black employees do you have compared to white? How many of those black employees are in management positions compared to white? There are no women of color in high management positions, there are no men of color in high management positions, no diversity. They do not care about their employees and will continue to be led by old conservative white men. They have unattainable metrics and an extremely high turnover rate. They promote people who are friends with management and not qualified. Very high school gossip environment. Stay away.

Pros

Exposure to large, high-value accounts and complex operational challenges. The role builds resilience quickly and provides strong experience in account management, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. There is a high level of ownership in day-to-day responsibilities, which can accelerate skill development for those who are self-driven.

Cons

Since the acquisition by Apollo, the work environment has noticeably declined. While new processes were introduced, leadership often did not take the time to fully understand or follow them, creating confusion and inconsistency across teams. Employees who raised questions or tried to improve processes were not always received positively, which discouraged feedback and innovation. There is also a lack of alignment between departments, leading to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and added pressure on employees managing critical accounts. Workloads are frequently excessive without adequate support, contributing to burnout and turnover. Compensation does not consistently reflect the level of responsibility and workload expected, which further impacts morale and retention. Overall, the organization feels reactive rather than structured, and direction has become increasingly unclear.
