Pros

Do your homework and think twice before accepting an offer. There are people you will meet who will be trustworthy partners, but be weary. The salary is good and so are the benefits.

Cons

It depends on which side of the company you are within. The specialties side has a very toxic culture whereas the essentials side does not. These were remote positions before and are now being forced back into the office, which makes Brenntag less competitive for high performance talent. There is a significant head count reduction ongoing with positions eliminated immediately, forcing work onto the already stretched and stressed workforce.

Pros

The people I worked alongside were the best part of the job.

Cons

While my early experience was positive, my experience changed significantly over time. Communication and the application of workplace policies became less consistent, and the work environment felt increasingly micromanaged. Workplace changes and employee transitions were not always handled in a way that felt transparent or consistent. In my experience, compensation and annual raises did not keep pace with employee contributions or expectations. I also believe the company could do more to recognize and support long-term employees, especially during periods of change. It was a reminder that the end of an employee’s experience often reflects the culture just as much as the beginning.
