      Never seen so many unhappy people in one place.

      Pros

      Nice facility. Met a few really nice, helpful people.

      Cons

      Too many policies. I felt like I had no say in anything. Just follow policy. Policy, policy, policy. Then once you finally figure out the policy, it changes. Not allowed to use logical thinking. Boring work. Overtime required, but then hours are cut so they don't have to pay it. Cubicle farm. No privacy at all. It was really upsetting to overhear the manager berate people in the department. No personality allowed. Head down and just grind. Terrible training. Seemed like all management wants to do is find errors then make you feel bad in a public reprimand. Lack of support or help. Cheap company. Archaic software. Never felt appreciated. Felt expendable from the moment I walked in the door.

      Poor management, total lack of respect for Staff

      Pros

      Good people remain and can be found. Great place if you like style over substance. Good Pension scheme was available, though now dwindling for new starters.

      Cons

      A Company in a "managed decline" - the Chems industry has been dwindling for years, corporate investors are taking what value they can out of Univar and leaving. Minimal investment as a result. People leaving in droves ever since botched introduction of SAP and poor management decisions ever since. Very little respect for Staff from higher management, resulting in high staff turnover and poor morale. Dwindling benefits for staff.

      Pros

      I honestly can't give any pros, other than people, who will all eventually be gone.

      Cons

      Management, the problems start at the top and the management here is truly sad. Not one person knows anything about leadership or responsibility, but they know plenty about back biting and deflecting responsibility. They use a system that is 30 years old, which makes everything you do exhausting (it takes ten steps to do one thing). The facilities are old, not updated and not well maintained. Health hazards and this place as a whole is a mental health hazard!
