Pros

Univar pays well and they've changed their position on promoting from within versus going outside of the company to fill positions. Great benefits, company car, and equitable sales bonuses.

Cons

Upper management became too focused on metrics; 20 calls per week, 100% pipeline coverage, entering tons of data into SFDC. The worst part of Univar is raising their prices to extreme, but still expecting the sales account managers to grow their territories.

Univar Solutions Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are glad to see you have seen the increase in internal movement within the company. We are concentrated on growing and retaining Univar knowledge to help service our clients more effectively.
