Pros

It's a job but that's about it.

Cons

Univar has conducted a very efficient weeding out of all great experienced managers over the past two years only to be replaced by completely inexperienced and overpaid outsiders. Issue is these people want to run Univar in ways that compete with the other inexperienced and overpaid outsiders who are trying to do the same thing. It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Cons

Senior Leadership has no clue on what makes a chemical distributor tick No Strategy in place to differentiate from competition Strategic vision not valued at all

Pros

A market leader still. Still some great veteran employees but the numbers are dwindling. Decent pay and benefits.

Cons

Vision and any type of long term plan have been sacrificied to hit short term financial goals at practically any cost. Employees have become disposable assets.
