What used to be great is now mediocre

Pros

It's a job but that's about it.

Cons

Univar has conducted a very efficient weeding out of all great experienced managers over the past two years only to be replaced by completely inexperienced and overpaid outsiders. Issue is these people want to run Univar in ways that compete with the other inexperienced and overpaid outsiders who are trying to do the same thing. It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Pros

My specific department is pretty organized and has good depth of retention/knowledge. Easy Job with little instruction required and little supervison.

Cons

All other departments within company are highly unorganized and dont work well together. No one is ever on the same page- which is to sevice cusotmer. Plus the upper managment has no clue what is going on at the bottom, they ask us for feed back and we give it and nothing happens.

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 Technology is outdated.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.
