Professionally run company but does not respond to employees feedback.

Pros

Good company benefits, for example medical dental. Performance bonuses can be fairly good if you're in a position to receive one.

Cons

Training is virtually nonexistent for account managers/sales reps. They are expected to just know it and are sent out into the field to sink or swim.

Pros

Work together to achieve our goals. The employees were my best friends and family. Univar was a great company to work for in the last 30 years.

Cons

Expect employees to work 12-18 hours a day. If you are not in the good old boys club, advancements or promotions are very limited.

Pros

Medical benefits are good. Also, I'm relatively happy with my salary and appreciate that I can get a day off when I need it.

Cons

People in the trenches are understaffed and overworked. Technology is outdated. UVX is truly garbage. And you’re expected to waste untold hours logging every fart in Salesforce rather than bringing in business. Management leaves you to sink or swim. They expect work to get done, but don’t care if you have access to the tools or information you need to accomplish it. I’ve never worked in a place before where it was acceptable to just ignore requests for help. Layoffs and more layoffs. Sad little bonuses. Bad morale – due to all of the above and so much more.
