Pros

Great company to work for if you're worried about trips, slips, and falls. The company is excellent on advocating safety in the work place.

Cons

Too many Chiefs who are "title driven" as oppose to keeping the customer first, and not enough Indians. If you're not in management, they will treat you as such. They need to either re-train them or do a clean sweep and start over.

Pros

-salary -benefits -a lot of exposure to interesting businesses and people -clean office environment -safety is enforced -interesting career -travel -there are some really great people that work at Univar, but there are only a select few from different branches -exposure and hands-on experience is great for personal development -you learn what NOT to look for in a company

Cons

Where to begin, because there are so many. First, if you don't mind being treated like you are replaceable and worthless, than this is could be a good gig for you since the salary and benefits make putting up and having to shut your mouth somewhat worth it. If you have any self-respect, this is not the company for you. Making a profit is all that this company cares about. Angry and disappointed customers threatened to take their business elsewhere, and I don't blame them because there isn't anything special about Univar anymore. This company way overcharges their customers, as I have been told from customers that they can sell me the same product for half the price and make a profit from the sale if they bought it from a different distributor. The stock value is most important, and as an employee, you are treated as such. Lay offs happen at any minute and for reasons that are non-explainable. Management is weak- good luck trying to climb the ladder, because there is no room for growth unless you are tight with management and suck up to your manager. Training is poor- a bunch of learning modules that are outdated and repetitive. Different answers from different people, so you never know what is right from wrong. Beware of false promises, because there are many. The rules change depending on your managers mood that day and they certainly don't apply to everyone equally. More bad eggs than good eggs. Negative work environment.
