senior and middle management is horrible, the absolute worst i have ever dealt with in my years of corporate work - has absolutely no relationship with the rest of the employees and doesn't make any effort to create one. there is a complete lack of focus as to the direction of this company. management seems to have a vested interest in maintaining the current status quo, so there is a lack of respect for the rest of the employees. management actually yells and threatens employees with losing their jobs, how incredibly unprofessional. Very condescending. Lack of trust. Lots of gossip. management rules through fear and intimidation. Rest of staff is treated like children. I was told from the get go that it would be my responsibility to figure out what training I needed, there is NONE provided. No HR on site. Couldn't wait to leave.
Brand recognition is completely lost, with the loss of the Unisource Worldwide name and recent merger, causing a lot of customer confusion. There is no training on products and services, so you have no idea what brands or products are represented.
This is a "newly formed company" which essentially arose from a merger of two companies and made its IPO this year. Extremely high turnover for many obvious reasons. There is a complete disconnect between senior management and the rest of the organization. No training for new hires. Never received any information regarding the health insurance plan or the 401K plan during my time there. All new employees are granted a standard amount of vacation days, instead of vacation time based on years of service, including external candidates with extensive years of experience. HR is a complete mess, no one in the HR group seems to know what they are doing. Employees are only paid on a monthly basis. No tuition reimbursement. Very bare benefits, with a focus on cost cutting. There is a limited number of sick days provided, which is highly unrealistic. Lots of employees seem to lack drive and morale to succeed beyond what is expected of them, which isn't surprising given the lack of involvement and leadership.
