Pros

Most people seem to care about doing their job and being part of a team.

Cons

Just read the reviews below and see the poor spelling and poor grammar! Univar is loaded with D+ students. Management rules by fear. Company leaders are so out of touch with what happens on the floor with the actual process of receiving, packaging, warehousing and transportation of chemicals it’s a joke. If anything about this review seems over the top or untrue, ask anyone at Univar to explain the operating system the company uses to track inventory and sales. Cave paintings are more informative. New employees beware.
