Pros

Univar is a big company. There is a possibility for career growth.

Cons

Company is micro managed by people who stall out on decision making. Upper management does not encourage decision making by subordinates. There is a sense of fear if a decision is needed and senior management is not available to decide.

Univar Solutions Response

We encourage all our employees to have a healthy work life balance and take advantage of their flexible time off. We’re sorry to hear that you were unable to do so.
