Pros

Good people and a good orginization to work. The leadership put in place a few years ago is taking us the right direction and are accessible to any employee at any level. It is not too uncommon to receive a personal email from a VP or the CEO. The leadership continues to make heavy financial investments in the sales team and our general technology platforms.

Cons

1) At times some of our metrics force us into busy work instead of effective work. 2) Account Managers and Sales Managers spend too much time mining or suppling data to various personnel within Univar that should be capable of finding it themselves. Both points are addressed in greater detail under Advice to Management.

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.
