Pros

Most people view Veritiv as a career "stepping stone"

Cons

Toxic, abusive company culture. No formal training process for new hires; they throw you to the wolves immediately. Overly convoluted systems that break constantly; you have to be a genius (or work extra hours) to succeed here. Highly corporatized structure, meaning the managers don't listen to their employees' needs & concerns because they are under constant pressure to placate their directors above. Insane turnover rate; most people move on from Veritiv within a year, and I've heard from several ex-coworkers that working at Veritiv was bad for their health. Longterm outlook in doubt as the stock valuation continues to plummet, with Veritiv currently going through a consolidation phase and eliminating many positions/shutting down many locations. I never met a single coworker who ever said a positive word about the CEO. It probably didn't help that the CEO installed her 30-year-old niece as one of the managers in our office.

Pros

Great coworkers. Good pay. Decent benefits.

Cons

Constant changing of policies and how your job is done. Management at all levels lack the ability to really change anything. Direction of our department seems to change quarterly. Systems hardly ever work consistently. The last 2 years have been full of lay offs. Seemingly nearsighted decision making in senior management on systems, direction, and processes.
