High Turnover, Disorganized, Unrealistic...

Pros

They have to pay well to attract talent. Their retirement matching is a nice perk if you decide to stick around long enough.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. The politics, non-stop churn at all levels (a VP or Director exits eery other week), the unrealistic timelines, the knee-jerk executive demands, spineless management and overall disfunction are overwhelming at Univar.

Unrealistic expectations, 25 year old out dated system. Superiors micromanaging employee's, hard to keep up with expectations. No incentives, No bonus. Not worth all the stress.
