Pros

Most of the Buyers are very hardworking. Schedule flexibility and ability to work remotely within reason, New Manager is making an honest effort to improve department.

Cons

Not a team oriented atmosphere at all. Supervisors act as though they are above rolling up their sleeves during times of crisis. You’re expected to do your job and others. Buyers held to higher standard than any other department. Lots of unnecessary work. Pay is not competitive. Benefits aren’t comparable. If you leave the company before 3 years, you will not get the vested balance of your 401k. Also they will not tell you that your 401k will not be paid out until a week after your final paycheck which can be up to 3 weeks after your separation.

Pros

-Weekends are yours -Company vehicle perk

Cons

-Not adapting to new economic climate, creating ongoing loss of business. Very difficult to achieve any sales success with the Univar platform. -Managment seems to be a bunch of sociopaths. As they continue to miss targets, they push unrealistic expectations onto the people below them. -Issues never seem to be resolved, just swept under the rug. -Terrible morale, but everybody smiles for the camera. -They are good at keeping you constantly scared for keeping your job.
