Pros

I joined Univar for the opportunity to be part of a transformation. They became a F300 company in the summer of 2015 and have higher level of business expectations to meet. Univar is hungry to bring in new talent to lead them into this new chapter of Univar's history. Yes, it can be chaotic at times but my experience and knowledge is quickly making an impact in my first 6 months. Pay is competitive.

Cons

The benefits program is average. There are many projects to be done that requires a daily game of prioritizing.

Pros

Unlimited vacation is a perk.

Cons

The company has serious cultural and leadership issues, particularly around accountability for inappropriate conduct. There have been significant concerns regarding a senior global employee’s behavior, including inappropriate sexual relationships with employees across multiple countries and concerns about misuse of position, influence, and company resources to support his behavior. The fact that these concerns were reportedly allowed to continue raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to "safety". Reporting concerns to HR was not viewed as an effective solution. A workplace cannot maintain trust when employees believe power and position can shield predatory behavior. Employees should also be aware that compensation expectations may not align with reality. Bonuses that employees work toward throughout the year will not be paid out as expected, and communication around these decisions has been unclear and last minute. Overall, leadership has appeared disorganized, unqualified, inconsistent, and lacking direction.
