Pros

Good people and good product lines. Bring back the fundamentals like Growth, market leadership and continuous improvement. Customers and suppliers need the old Univar back!

Cons

Management has no clue! CEO and upper management are lost. They keep changing compensation plans and all the best people are leaving. CEO is all about himself and will be gone in less than a year! No talent in US management had to bring in management from Europe. All they did in Europe was cut expenses and have not grown share in years. Manage board let all the best upper management go and again have no idea what to do.

Pros

Nice facility. Met a few really nice, helpful people.

Cons

Too many policies. I felt like I had no say in anything. Just follow policy. Policy, policy, policy. Then once you finally figure out the policy, it changes. Not allowed to use logical thinking. Boring work. Overtime required, but then hours are cut so they don't have to pay it. Cubicle farm. No privacy at all. It was really upsetting to overhear the manager berate people in the department. No personality allowed. Head down and just grind. Terrible training. Seemed like all management wants to do is find errors then make you feel bad in a public reprimand. Lack of support or help. Cheap company. Archaic software. Never felt appreciated. Felt expendable from the moment I walked in the door.
