Pros

KFC is only over the road. Sadly not much else

Cons

Blame culture. If your face fits. Micro management. Recent redundancies has destroyed morale and the already lacking atmosphere is now non existent. Remaining staff are ALL looking elsewhere for work. Management is very much an us and them divide, many of which have let their egos take over in recent times. Lack of communication. Completely unrewarding annual reviews that are quite clearly predetermined outcomes, 'your say' will have zero impact on the outcome.

Thanks for taking the time to review Univar Solutions. We are sorry to hear your experience hasn’t always been positive. We are proud to have an open door policy that allows all employees to speak freely with their manager, HR, or an executive to express concerns and have their voice heard.

Pros

Very few pros. An extremely industrial, hard-faced, combative culture. Very much 'us' and 'them' culture with management. Head office at Bradford is a soul-destroying, energy-sucking, depressingly bland place to work. No sense of community or collaboration, or even human kindness, and a real blame culture.

Cons

Plenty. Paternalistic and prescriptive policies and management style mean everyone is treated in line with the lowest common denominator. Demeaning, demoralising and demotivating.

Pros

None other than if you like attention from your bosses

Cons

Managing staff is a boys club, sales are declining, they are cutting staff and not giving transparent information to the staff
