Pros

If you are good at your job, you are noticed and if you put the time & energy into the company, there will always be a place for you to grow and learn. There are many people at the company who have been there for 20+ years, and there is a reason for it. I am lucky to have a great manager and other mentors who saw my potential and was able to foster and harness the energy that I bring to Univar.

Cons

There is not any on boarding for new Sales Reps, you are tossed into the position and I have seen a lot of failed attempts. Its much better to start in a position at the company where you can learn all the ins and outs of the business before starting at a higher position where there is already an expectation you know how everything flows together.
