30 years and still very pleased

Pros

My career in printing paper sales spans 30 years. All of my years have been spent with companies which are now part of Veritiv. To say we have a challenging market and customer base is is a major understatement. The fact that Veritiv has figured out a way to survive is a testament to the management. The most recent changes, while dramatic and unproven, are at least a path away from an unsustainable business model. To be sure some decisions raise my eyebrows, but I accept my role to implement the initiatives. Each day at Veritiv I have an opportunity to do what I do best. I work with many people who appreciate our company and our positions within the organization. Benefits are very good and I am pleased with the compensation. I am treated with respect and dignity in my interactions with all levels of employees. Fine paper sales may not present the opportunity it did when I started, but Veritiv provides a path to a successful sales or management career.

Cons

Printing paper is in secular decline, any other con I could think of is insignificant in comparison.

“Terrible Company To Work For”

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good co- workers but because of all the changes they are emotionally disengaged with their jobs.

Cons

Talented employees are leaving on a regular basis. Sought after candidates are not interested, because Veritiv is not a stable company. Management is incompetent and can’t fix the problems. The company has lost over a billion dollars in sales since the integration. Managements way to fix the problem is to create fictitious price increases, set unrealistic goals for Sales Reps so they can terminate them. Micromanage people to death because they have no trust in there employees so they can justify their own jobs.

Thanks for your review and service. We certainly are disappointed that you were dissatisfied with your tenure at Veritiv. The reason we mention the integration and the strategy because that is THE reality of Veritiv. When combining two legacy companies, you have to expect many levels of consolidation to create new efficiencies. The work can be long and arduous and create fatigue, but it is creating a stronger foundation for this young and growing company. While sales have fluctuated in the past, the truth is that sales have been growing since 4Q 2017, although we certainly want them to grow even more. Unfortunately for the industry, price increases have not been a story of fiction as you wrote but a real-life factor in packaging, facility solutions and print. The Veritiv Journey is moving into a new phase of its strategy to optimize our processes to make working with and for this company a much better experience. For many, this is an exciting time to be at Veritiv.

Thanks for your review and your more than 10 years of service to Veritiv. We are glad that you worked with such great sales teams but are disappointed that you feel the company is not as focused on customers. "Customer Focus" is one of our six Veritiv Values, and we need everyone to be committed to understanding our customers' needs and providing solutions that add value. In fact, as part of our integration, the entire implementation of our new VOS system is designed to improve the customer experience with Veritiv. As we complete our integration, we believe there are great opportunities for anyone wanting to be a part of this journey.
