A great company, Top leadership, I left a manager, not a job.

Pros

I loved working at Univar as whole. The pay and benefits were amazing, it really doesn't get better than working at Univar. I didn't want to leave the company, I left my managers.

Cons

This isn't the place to get respect. Depending on your department, you'll stay or leave. My manager was incompetent, and her supervisor was even more incompetent, I was not respected despite my education and experience. My manager constantly felt threatened, and would throw tantrums, very unprofessional. I put my heart and soul into my work, I needed a job, but the bullying was unbearable.

Pros

Good company benefits, for example medical dental. Performance bonuses can be fairly good if you're in a position to receive one.

Cons

Training is virtually nonexistent for account managers/sales reps. They are expected to just know it and are sent out into the field to sink or swim.
