Pros

Do not believe any review that is ranked above 1 star. It is likely made up by someone in Univar HR.

Cons

Save yourself. Do not accept a job at Univar. It is an absolutely disorganized mess. They are on the brink of financial disaster and the IT systems are also a disaster. Look at the stock price! Back stabbing, egos, temper tantrums, high turnover, turf protection, etc. Rampant at Univar. Most of the quality people that worked there are gone and immensely more happy. If you do interview ask them about the bonus. If they say you're going to get one they are lying. Ask about the IT systems. Ask how they are functioning and if any implementations failed. Ask about the turnover. Ask them though questions and see what they say.
