Pros

Cons

This company is currently going through a massive transition. The customer service team is getting the brunt of it. Management's hands are tied, they hear you but cannot make any real change. The current role of a "customer service rep" is not accurately titled. What this role is, is much grater than a CSR. For that reason I feel this role is not titled or compensated fairly. They say they are working towards realigning and reassigning responsibilities to even out the work load- but as it is now, this job is not sustainable. Way too much of a workload for one person. Poor work-life balance.

This is one of the worst companies that you could ever work for. In the year 2020 Univar is the whitest company you will ever see. They comment on the reviews about diversity by saying they are a part of Black and Women networks. That is great that you are a part of these networks but where are the stats showing you are diverse. How many black employees do you have compared to white? How many of those black employees are in management positions compared to white? There are no women of color in high management positions, there are no men of color in high management positions, no diversity. They do not care about their employees and will continue to be led by old conservative white men. They have unattainable metrics and an extremely high turnover rate. They promote people who are friends with management and not qualified. Very high school gossip environment. Stay away.
