Pros

Really good balance work - life

Cons

Good to say “where people matters” on the inside is the completely opposite

Univar Solutions Response

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented for all employers and Univar, like all others faced a huge number of new, sensitive and sometimes complex decisions to make taking into account what was right for the individual but also what was the right thing to do for our whole team in these types of circumstances. Whilst I can appreciate that all our decisions made may not have suited each individual, our global team feedback positively in our 2020 employee survey that they felt fully-supported by Univar during the COVID-19 pandemic and our overall scores for things such as wellbeing increased during this time.

Pros

Good pension, benefits and work-life balance (at least in my team).

Cons

The company is led on targets, KPIs and the power is in the hands of the accountants. It is truly an old men club. Of course, it is a traditionally a men industry but quite frankly the mentality seems to be stuck in the 80s. No modern feeling in this company. I was in my late 20s when I worked there and I was really bored.

Univar Solutions Response

Thank you for your review. We are excited about our vibrant and new future as Univar Solutions where we are bringing together the best of the best for our customers, suppliers and employees. One of our new values is Where People Matter - caring about others and their contributions, ensuring diversity and inclusion and of course doing this while growing our people to grow our business.
