The company was good to work for with great benefits and matched 401k. It was a good way to cut my teeth as a generalist

Pros

Some great people that work really hard, great benefits, generally a secure job. A lot of opportunity for advancement in every trade that Univar offers.

Cons

Everybody is a drop in the bucket. This is a very corporate atmosphere, which is nice if you aren't a good employee. Very good employees sometimes aren't given full credit for their work since it is such a "team game" (by design).

Pros

Fair compensation package and very good benefits. Good group of people in the trenches.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. Most new management positions are hired from outside and leadership very much believes in the "top-down" approach.
