Pros

There are some good people there - although very frustrated as the company makes decisions based on an excel spreadsheet and not the customers or future of employees.

Cons

Xpedx and Unisource merged to create Veritiv 5 years ago. This was an exit strategy by International Paper and Bain Capitol to unload their investment in each company. They are trying to time the selling of shares of Veritiv stock to unload their investment. Management is not open to ideas or culture or the future. They don't invest in advertising or internet visibility. They do not value expertise or product knowledge of their sales reps. They only care about squeezing one more penny out of the spreadsheet. They do not realize that the sales team is who gave them the numbers to play with on the spreadsheet in the first place. Are you a good sales rep? Are you a good customer service rep? Are you a good warehouse worker? Find a company that is looking forward more then just the next 2 years - you will probably find a company with a better culture and outlook.

Pros

They are lenient when it comes to time of our working from home.

Cons

You do not get hired for full time or promoted based on qualifications. They choose who to hire based on who you know and who you are friendly with.
