Overall, my experience has been positive. It has been a bit of a roller coaster for the company though.

Pros

Ability to make an impact with good suggestions. Good benefits, and management teams. Global reach and opportunities.

Cons

Lots of initiatives to improve, many structural changes. Slow to adopt standard practices company-wide. Lots of turnover at high levels, and outside hiring rather than inside promotions.

Pros

Great holiday schedule, nice embroidered shirts(if you can get One!) when it was VWR it was a wonderful place to work, benefits were great

Cons

After being let go after 20+ years at UNIVAR, in both the trenches and management, i can say i have seen this company go from great to terrible. The employee is of no value , only actions to improve the bottom line for the investment company,who will eventually sell the lot , again . management is made up of long term employees , who were promoted without the knowledge or experience to manage!,and are destroying the moral from inside out.

Pros

Don't feel like I have to be tied to email 24x7. Strong industry knowledge.

Cons

Constant change in Sr. Management and blaming of past leadership for perceived poor performance. Losing many good people at Corporate with move of HQ out of Redmond. Feeding frenzy for recruiters.
