Veritiv reviews

Since the Unisource/XPEDX merger and public offering as the new company now known as Veritiv, the constant retooling and reorganizing of the company has led to far less efficiency and far less interest in creative solutions from those who are actually in the trenches and have been there for years. Rather, senior management appears to jump from latest idea to next latest idea in search of better ways to do tasks that were actually at maximum efficiency before they interfered, in essence inventing the wheel over and over again. And when new, creative ideas do bubble up from the below, they are more often than not disregarded. The impression the workers are left with is that of different, individual senior managers all trying to push their own new ideas for advancement without ever checking to see from their own employees whether or not they would work for our particular company rather than whichever focus groups they are consulting. The result is a constantly shifting landscape of procedures that values the worker's skills, experience and creativity less and less and leaves the day-to-day operations more difficult to implement.

It's a very tough sell and the company has too many internal processes that slows down the close of a sale. Also, the company needs to equip their employees with the right knowledge to approach and close every sale.
