High Turnover, Disorganized, Unrealistic...

Anonymous employee

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.

Not the place you'd want to work

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits

Cons

this was a good company, people enjoyed to come to work, now people dread coming to work. The moral has gone down and management doesnt know what really is going on and feeds into people who are clueless about how things actually work. If you want to move up with a conpany, this isn't the job.
