      Once a fantastic company to work for

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Depth of knowledge by the field employees makes up the rewarding part of employment these days. 5 years ago it was a very desirable, active, and participative employer.

      Cons

      Private capital influence and apparent desire to rid themselves of experienced mid-management for the sake of conformity to their new ideas from outside the industry - it is, simply put, not going well.

      Poor Leadership

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some talented people still in place

      Cons

      Lack of commitment to chemical distribution by senior leadership. Looking to reduce head count to appease private equity. Apparent emphasis on reducing the number of experienced employees in order to get new people at lower compensation.

      What used to be great is now mediocre

      Former manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a job but that's about it.

      Cons

      Univar has conducted a very efficient weeding out of all great experienced managers over the past two years only to be replaced by completely inexperienced and overpaid outsiders. Issue is these people want to run Univar in ways that compete with the other inexperienced and overpaid outsiders who are trying to do the same thing. It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
