Pros
-Benefits are above average (healthcare, 401K, etc.) -Compensation is still above average in the industry. You have the ability to make $200+ -You can be entrepreneurial in terms of accounts you call on and products you sell them. I found this attractive as you are not catalogue selling (Uline, Grainger, etc.). You are typically providing custom solutions that bring value aside from the lowest price. -The private label products are a huge advantage. "Tufflex" is one of the best programs/offerings that Veritiv has.
Cons
-There's a lot to be honest. I was successful at Veritiv and they treated me well but there were a ton of frustrations that led me to be recruited elsewhere. -In my opinion, Veritiv is full of below-average talent. If you are a driven individual, you will be frustrated that your coworkers are not at the same level in terms of intelligence and work ethic. -Slow moving/lot of red tape selling experience. -This is not a sales organization. For those of you in sales - you should know what this means. Leadership does not have a sales background/focus. -As a large distributor, Veritiv does not do one thing particularly well. "Jack of all trades, master of none" is applicable here. This makes selling in this environment difficult as end users have become better at sourcing and not valuing the "one stop shop" idea.
