Management is unorganized and employees are unhappy

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent wages, good benefits, lenient towards days off

Cons

They cater to the employees who are constantly late, call in to work on a more than regular basis, and employees who complain they have "so much work they can't keep up" yet these employees are the one who are the slackers. However, managements "open door policy" is a bunch of junk as well. If you don't get results for a problem, go to the next person: Well I did this after my manager told me to "smoke some weed" to relieve a problem I was having and then was repremanded and treated like crap and was scrutinized for the remainder of time I wasemployeed there. Then, I was medical leave, came back and that morning was "laid off". Needless to say, I was always asking for things to do and never complained I was "too busy", called in about 2 times in the past year, ate lunch many times at my desk, but was the one "laid off".

Pros

Univar was a company that valued relationships, both supplier and customer facing, as well as its employees. Tremendous facitliy footprint. Talented employees with extensive knowledge of chemical distribution industry. A workforce committed to excellence

Cons

Today Univar values very costly consultants over experienced top performers. Senior Leadership now must implement cost cutting measures driven by our two private equity owners. These strategies focus on reducing working capital to a point where servicing customers and satisfying suppliers has become difficult
