Pros

Five years ago there was not enough room here to write all the pro 's. It was a great place to work--I looked forward to going to work every day. I had advanced time and time again in my role, my responsibilities , and my compensation. And now there are none worth writing.

Cons

Cons summed up in one word---MANAGEMENT. not trustworthy, not ethical, they see absolutely no value in their employees. They say they do but it's not true. Actions speak louder than words. Long term employees are taken advantage of and held back. Example after example after example of this is available. Customer service has been moved so far from the customer that there is no longer a relationship based business. There is no loyalty between employer/employee, customer/univar, supplier/univar. Univar is extremely slow to pay causing vendors to be frustrated yet push customers to hold to terms-even if they are also a vendor and univar owes them even more than they are trying to collect. Very poor mgmt at regional level who whip employees to give more and more without and recognition, compensation or appreciation.

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.
