Pros

Worked at 2 locations and 2 different positions at 2 different times. My first time with Univar was absolutely fabulous, great coworkers on the west coast. I worked hard but the atmosphere was amazing. Then a few years later I went back to work for them on the east coast this time and the company either changed or it was the people and culture that was different. Different position (sales) but I didn't have a good experience. No direction, did not want to focus on building customer relationships as I had done in my previous position as a Coordinator, only care about increasing revenue and new sales at the expense of existing customers.

Cons

Lack of direction, bad middle managers, no training

Pros

I honestly can't give any pros, other than people, who will all eventually be gone.

Cons

Management, the problems start at the top and the management here is truly sad. Not one person knows anything about leadership or responsibility, but they know plenty about back biting and deflecting responsibility. They use a system that is 30 years old, which makes everything you do exhausting (it takes ten steps to do one thing). The facilities are old, not updated and not well maintained. Health hazards and this place as a whole is a mental health hazard!

Pros

Pay and benefits are very competitive if not better. Managers aren't breathing down your neck all day. Promote within!! Available to work as much overtime as you want. Supply drinks water/Gatorade/coffee.

Cons

Warehouse could use some form of ventilation, it gets really hot in the summer and cold in the winters. They supply pants that are part of the uniform, i really don't like this i prefer to wear carpenter jeans. ( personal preference)
