Don't Waste Your Time and Talent

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Broad product offering and most of the customers are great.

Cons

This was once a wonderful company but now it's a horrible, stressful place to work. Corporate America at its worst! Making the shareholders happy is at the expense of the employees and customers. Many of the good people have left so morale is the lowest I've ever seen. Long hours, unrealistic expectations, elimination of cost of living raises, bonuses, and reduction in benefits. The compensation program might sound enticing but it's a pipe dream.

Bad Bad Company

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Only thing good about Univar is the benefits

Cons

Company is going through some bad times. Company is revamping pricing processes which is leading to a huge loss in business. They want to make profits in excess of making the customer purchase from you. Most of the chemicals Univar has are commodity chemicals and customers can get elsewhere, so why buy from Univar when their prices are 3X market prices. Forget it Univar your strategies aren't going to gain business wins.
