Veritiv? Are they still around?

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good memories of an ambitious and competitive company before the Veritiv merger fiasco of 2014. Worked with a lot of good talent who are now employed with competitors.

Cons

Veritiv seeks out unskilled management that no other company dare hire. The operating systems used are old legacy systems from the 1980's and 1990's. Very antiquated backwards thinking company, must be run by 90 year olds. This and price increases have driven away business to a point that many jobs and locations are being eliminated as value of Veritiv declines, and much needed cash flow is attained through company reduction, not sales growth.

Toxic, abusive company culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Most people view Veritiv as a career "stepping stone"

Cons

Toxic, abusive company culture. No formal training process for new hires; they throw you to the wolves immediately. Overly convoluted systems that break constantly; you have to be a genius (or work extra hours) to succeed here. Highly corporatized structure, meaning the managers don't listen to their employees' needs & concerns because they are under constant pressure to placate their directors above. Insane turnover rate; most people move on from Veritiv within a year, and I've heard from several ex-coworkers that working at Veritiv was bad for their health. Longterm outlook in doubt as the stock valuation continues to plummet, with Veritiv currently going through a consolidation phase and eliminating many positions/shutting down many locations. I never met a single coworker who ever said a positive word about the CEO. It probably didn't help that the CEO installed her 30-year-old niece as one of the managers in our office.
