Pros

They have an OK worklife balance. I enjoy the work and helping secure business by talking to customers.

Cons

They benefits are really weak. You pay too much for medical and all the other crap they throw at you. The management is uneducated. They let them move up from within the organization, but fail to give them the training to run things the right way. Like, how to do things with a cost-affective approach. They are slowly bleeding the company dry. Office politics are played pretty heavy here. they would rather have idiots running things because they don't want people around them that can do the job better and make them look bad. Pay is below average for the kind of work you do. I think that is why Bunzl does not require college for management to also.

Pros

Low cost operator. Many great people working hard. Decent benefits

Cons

Jack of all trades, master of none. Old AS400 with too many patchworks programs trying to make it all work. Culture is very reactive instead of proactive. Managing people and vendors by bullying instead of negotiating within the spirit of partnership. Still the good old boy political network

Pros

We only worn 8 to 5, Monday to Saturday.

Cons

No room for advancement. I have been told that within 5 years when at least 7 employees will retire and I could get one of their jobs. I don't believe in what they say, they always promise change to make our office better but that change never comes. The older employees that are close to retirement are always in a bad moon, and I always regret asking them a question because I always get attitude from them like if I was bothering them. Most other departments act like customer service employees are low class and stupid. I am actively searching for a new job and will be happy to leave this year 2014.
