Pros

There is really nothing too positive to say about this company, except that I am glad I am no longer there. Also, I met some very good, nice people.

Cons

I was optimistic about this job and company and that faded fairly quickly. There is a complete disconnect between management/senior management and the rest of the staff. There is absolutely no training provided. There is a complete lack of management involvement in daily operations. Salaried employees are only paid on a monthly basis and this wasn't communicated prior to accepting or starting work there, only after the fact, and I mean monthly - at the end of the month, so you could go over 4 weeks without receiving a paycheck during certain months. The work environment is highly negative. The benefits are terrible. I could not wait to leave. There is a lot of gossip. Complete lack of trust between management and employees. Management was checking my LinkedIn profile for updates regularly towards the end of my time there. The high turnover rate is not a surprise. This place is a complete mess. No one seems to know what is going on, ever. All the good, hardworking employees are trying to get out. Senior management is seriously awful.

Pros

Most of my coworkers were good, hard working people. Company offered decent pay.

Cons

Mid management is the worst I have ever seen in my 20 years of corporate environment. They don't have a clue how to do their own job or effectively manage. HR could care less until their threatened with a lawsuit. I was with the company less then a year and couldn't wait to leave!

Pros

Competitive pay for the market, great coworkers who really care about doing a good job and taking care of the company.

Cons

The organization is only focused on the shareholders. They implement changes without any regard for how it will affect those in the field. Constant layoffs, no communication on the company direction or goals. Employees are treated as commodities, they say they want to retain their talent but then do the opposite.

Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad to hear that you had a good experience with your Veritiv coworkers. We understand our status as a public company has certainly been an adjustment for some of our team members who were part of the legacy organizations, as now, shareholders are an important stakeholder to the company, along with our customers, employees and suppliers. We recognize that our employees are our greatest asset and we appreciate our team’s willingness to get informed on the importance of our shareholders and the critical role they play in helping Veritiv become a leading distribution solutions company. We thank you for your service to Veritiv and wish you the best.
