Pros

The salary was competitive. Recent bonuses were decent.

Cons

Burn em and churn em! Not an employee friendly workplace. Overworked beyond belief with very little thanks; crazy hours (around the year) under extreme (manipulative) micromanagement with limited flexibility. They tout an "unlimited" vacation policy for the salaried workforce, (but don't plan on taking much time off - it's frowned upon, and many times not approved). Culture is awful and turnover is high, leaving those left standing in the lurch to pick up the pieces and figure things out under immense pressure to do more, more, more with less each year. Do your career, your family and your sanity a favor and do not waste a moment considering Univar Solutions as a place to work (let alone develop your career). Also, if you leave before 3 years, they recoup a large portion of the match on retirement. Thank you very little.

Thank you for recognizing our competitive pay. Of course, Univar Solutions is a place Where People Matter, and we are committed to creating an inclusive culture where all voices are heard. In fact, this year, we received record-breaking response rates and overall job satisfaction expressed by our very own employees within the annual engagement survey! We also take pride in being a place Where the Best People Want to Work. Similarly, we take feedback seriously and value work-life harmony. As such, we were able to expand our Works for Me program, with a flexible hybrid work schedule and launch of no meetings on Friday afternoons, and provide very generous time off to rest and recharge. Finally, no employee 401k match is taken away, but the annual retirement contribution made by the Company does require a three-year vest, as is communicated during onboarding in our benefits package. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
