Pros

All of the former Nexeo people are best in class. What made the acquisition possible and attractive in the first place

Cons

Culture is crap. Hire and promote incompetent, insecure people. If you go against the grain and question the status quo, leadership sees it as a threat to themselves and force good people out. They only want yes men/women Leadership is embarrassingly biased and plays favorites No ownership, people just deflect and blame others. End up fighting internal teams and play politics to appease top level leadership. Culture at Nexeo was best in class. Nexeo culture was built off of creating long term relationships and helping people and customers. After acquisition things have been nothing but downhill Univar culture is transactional and selfish. Me vs You Strategy for growth is beat last year's numbers. No long term strategy except "increase value to shareholders" And instead of paying paying people market value, they invest in stock buybacks
