Pros

Good co-workers - hardworking people

Cons

Upper management has lost all control on internal situations from all departments. They do not know how to lead or manage the current headquarter location nor the satellite locations. The IT/computer equipment and computer software are considered dinosaurs. Logistic company at its finest. No sizable sales growth since the merger. Human Resources are in disarray and no organization for employee management or help. The merger happened years ago and no other company still uses merger excuses almost 4 (?) years later. The handbook is not enforced by management, there is no uniformity throughout the departments, and management does not care. No training, high turnovers, and a lot of blame.

Veritiv Response

We appreciate your review and your service with Veritiv over the past year. Our CEO and senior leadership understand the fatigue around the merger, but the five-year strategy to integrate and optimize the business is typical among mergers of this size. There's a lot of work to integrate and improve systems - including IT - and the integration phase is due to be complete by the end of year - right on schedule. We encourage you to hang in there. The past two quarters have shown growth, and as Veritiv enters the optimization phase of the strategy, we hope that will continue. We are concerned about managers not following protocol or the Veritiv Values. If you feel this needs further attention, we would appreciate you contacting our Human Resources department or filing a report with the Helpline (1-888-312-2693 or http://veritivhelpline.com) to provide us with additional information.
