Pros

Most employees work hard and are great people. Good benefits.

Cons

Wonder why sales and customer service teams are failing? Answer: Terrible managers that are promoted based on who they know not what they know. 6 out of 8 managers I work with where handed their positions. One manager fills positions with people that won't outshine her and people wonder why her departments are failing. The best employees are leaving in droves because of horrible leadership, promotions based favoritism, and because Univar does not value its employees, no matter how many pins and signs they put up. I couldn’t have said it better: Back stabbing, egos, temper tantrums, high turnover, and turf protection are a huge problem.

Great place, depending on your manager

Pros

I worked for Univar for close to 10 years. They provided a good salary and excellent benefits. With the executive-suite changes in the past few years, your happiness will depend a lot on your manager. Make sure to interview the hiring manager well and ask questions that are important to you about their management style, etc.

Cons

At one time, the culture was one of a small business, but that has changed in recent years with new executives. Now, it operates more like a corporation, which for some longtime employees is a disappointment.
