Pros

Coworkers are great. Occasional catered lunch.

Cons

I have never seen a company with that promotes such a negative culture. Nobody takes responsibility for anything because the know they can place blame upon the purchasing department. Most if not all of purchasing is overworked because they are understaffed and know it. They're is no room for advancement what so ever. Bonus' and raises are based upon unrealistic goals. Training is an absolute joke. Most managers are lazy and have no idea of what is going on.

Pros

Pay is competitive in marketplace.

Cons

Univar used to value it's employees but years of constant management change has led to senior leadership who talks about employee value but their actions are just the opposite. Long term experience and knowledge places you in the "Dinosaur" category. Constant change with management not from the industry has led to years of infighting and managed dysfunction. This used to be a great company but is now a poor work environment. Run, do not walk, away.

Pros

Lots of opportunity. Working hard to be innovative in an industry that usually doesn't support innovation.

Cons

So much new management that the voice of the workers is muffled. Tremendous amount of knowledge & experience that isn't being heard.
