Does not understand needs of working mothers

Pros

Some fun people that really enjoy laughing. Those people make the environment friendly.

Cons

The corporate policy is that sick time cannot be used if your child is sick. You are required to take unpaid time. You also are not allowed to work from home if taking care of a sick child. Kids will always get sick and they need their mother home with them. Univar does not understand that.

Such a shame to see a good company ruined by Equity Firms

Pros

Prior to approximately 3 years ago, this company was generally a great place to work at. It wasn't perfect, but the problems were far outweighed by the great people working there then. Since then, the two equity firms that own it, and the management teams that they have brought it (and rotated through) have decided that absolutely nothing is as important to them as them trying to position the firm for an IPO. This is common knowledge now to anyone in the industrial chemicals sales field. This once great firm is now the laughing stock of the industry. This is such an embarrassment to us former employees.

Cons

Too many to list. I strongly, strongly suggest that you look elsewhere if you are considering working here. Life is just too short to deal with these types of people.
