Pros

Very little. They have a lot of products to sell, with good suppliers, but the work environment is so horrible it's not worth it.

Cons

Extremely political--a "good ole' boy" network dominates who gets promoted, and who doesn't. Low pay, with questionable tactics on bonuses. Bonuses have been promised (via e-mail signed by management), then taken away with a "we made a mistake" as their only reason. Micro-management of all sales, with very little to no recognition of individual contributions. Customers do NOT like to buy from Univar due to the numerous restrictions, and lack of customer-friendly ideals.

Pros

Great groups who work directly with customers. Great potential.

Cons

Upper mgmt is out of touch and growing. Decisions made without regard for the customers. For a company that makes nothing, just moves product around the country, they cannot seem to stick to one game plan for more than couple years at a time. Decisions are made for internal political reasons. Great good old boy network still exists. Massively different standards for the same position exist through out the country. People are promoted and not trained.
