Pros

Paid time off ok pay

Cons

This is one of the worst companies that you could ever work for. In the year 2020 Univar is the whitest company you will ever see. They comment on the reviews about diversity by saying they are a part of Black and Women networks. That is great that you are a part of these networks but where are the stats showing you are diverse. How many black employees do you have compared to white? How many of those black employees are in management positions compared to white? There are no women of color in high management positions, there are no men of color in high management positions, no diversity. They do not care about their employees and will continue to be led by old conservative white men. They have unattainable metrics and an extremely high turnover rate. They promote people who are friends with management and not qualified. Very high school gossip environment. Stay away.

Pros

Nothing good to say about them

Cons

Terrible leadership and no direction. Leadership is out of touch with managing people and expectations change weekly. I was employed for 5.5 yrs and the go to market strategy changed 4 times.
