Pros

There are some wonderful people there with a lot of tenure that are hoping for the best.

Cons

Appear to be headed in the wrong direction. Some areas may look good on paper, but there are serious concerns with no working plan or good leadership to pull this through. Moral is terribly low and there is a huge disconnect between management and the people at the customer level driving the business. This leads to horrible decisions by management because they simply don't care to listen. Compound that with chopping heads in the merger and cutting the pay significantly of every sales person in the company, and they have taken an incredibly challenging situation and left people with little hope and/or wondering if this is even worth it anymore. Upper management is disconnected, middle management lives in fear and cant even be honest with their people about the foolish directives from above, and the folks at the bottom are beating their heads against the wall. More disappointing by the day.

Pros

-Decent salary -Merit Increase every year -Fellow designers and coworkers are amazing people

Cons

-Upper management is in disarray and constantly shifting and changing roles -Constant 'band-aid' fixes to problems and issues. -No push-back on sales reps. -If you want to advance in the company, expect to lose any semblance of work-life balance (despite them promoting it). -Wasteful spending on equipment that doesn't get used. -They don't show their employees that they are valued.

Pros

Veritiv seasoned professionals have considerable experience and know the industry well. It was nice being able to work with a capable team. Beyond their professionalism, it was a good group of people who I enjoyed working with. The ability to work remotely is a huge plus. Overall the compensation and benefits were fair and on par with industry averages.

Cons

There is not a clear focus or developed long term strategy. This creates a chaotic environment where you are constantly pushed and micromanaged to run with the flavor of the week and meet short term goals which don't set the business up for long term success. Consequently, nothing you do is ever good enough and you are always questioned as to why you are not doing more. There is little to no recognition even when you do surpass goals. Management takes zero input from their employees on how to grow and change the business for the better, it is their way or no way. Your ideas will be shut down fast. Management prefers to surround themselves with "yes men" and will not value your ideas or listen to your concerns. To achieve success requires dedication and never questioning anything you are asked to do. To achieve this, you should plan on working 60-80 hours / week, never taking vacation or receiving recognition for your efforts. If money is something you value far more than anything else, this could be a great fit for you. If you are willing to work 60-80 hours/week, never question anything, never take vacations and sustain this for 7-10 years, you do have the potential to be in the top 1% of annual pay and make professional athlete / CEO type money. There are a good number of reps who earn 500k+ / year.
