      Pros

      Entry level pay is ok

      My manager tended to leave me out of conversations when I was the one who brought up a concern, leaving my concern unanswered and when I follow up I would get looked negatively.

      It's disappointing to hear about your concerns with your manager. Univar consistently invests into training our leaders through both internal and external workshops and development courses. It sounds like your experience fell short with your particular leader. We will share your feedback with the organizational development team.

      Pros

      Company has good values, and is trying to incorporate a more unified and profitable workforce within. They offer good benefits, 401k and stock buy ins

      Cons

      Inside Sales is a newer concept at Univar and consequently under developed. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be embracing the true values of Univar. Inside Management is more focussed on proving they can spit out numbers in an effort to impress upper management of the capabilities of inside sales, than to actually developing, supporting, and appreciating the talent hired. They continue to suffocate already seasoned sellers with the demand to record their entire conversations with customers in computer notes and then to also painfully outline their step by step selling ideas and process to close on every single account. In addition inside sales has recently taken a sharp turn towards dog eat dog type of selling, to the point that sellers are strictly advised to STOP performing any customer service related duties and only focus on calls and numbers.

      We take great pride in our sales organization and the value they bring to our suppliers and customers. We appreciate your passion for Inside Sales and thank you for recognizing us for our Company Values. Great teams need to be able to communicate with each other and we encourage you to talk with your manager or HR Partner with your observations. We are continuously improving and building Univar and need your help to improve any growing pains along the way. Thanks for all you do.
