Pros

One thing I miss about working here were the benefits and the certain individuals who truly fought hard to provide great service to customers. Compensation was very good and there was some room for personal growth. A great place to work for in terms of financial stability. They were open to cross-training and had an open door policy. Office break room was nicely stocked with free coffee/Gatorade/tea. The trust from management to allow you to do one's job without them breathing down your back was nice, no micromanaging.

Cons

Bad management all around from branch to branch, favoritism, pointing of fingers when issues arise (whether it's between departments or branches), lack of employee recognition, low company morale, variations of certain procedures from branch to branch, a divide between departments, allowing certain customers to bully employees around, etc. They stall hiring of contracted employees because of the IPO filing but gave them more responsibilities than what is appropriate for their pay.

Pros

Great company to work for. Excellent benefits. Excelent perks. Good training. Excellent opporutnities for advancement. Ability to move throughout industry verticals. Ability to relocate nationwide or internationally.

Cons

My experience was with a poor manager. There was very little guidance given regarding the position for which I was hired. Unfortunately, I do not believe that the manager in that position was all that comfortable with the position and did not have a good handle on how to deal with employees.

Pros

I loved working at Univar as whole. The pay and benefits were amazing, it really doesn't get better than working at Univar. I didn't want to leave the company, I left my managers.

Cons

This isn't the place to get respect. Depending on your department, you'll stay or leave. My manager was incompetent, and her supervisor was even more incompetent, I was not respected despite my education and experience. My manager constantly felt threatened, and would throw tantrums, very unprofessional. I put my heart and soul into my work, I needed a job, but the bullying was unbearable.
