Pros

Financial security and strong motivation from competitive salary and bonuses. Comprehensive benefits package (Gym reimbursement, health, retirement, PTO, and personal & wellness time off). Fair compensation based on experience. Good work-life balance supported by benefits. my role: Easy to work for Brenntag as it's highly recognized and established reputation. Extensive and diverse product portfolio. Large existing customer base for relationship building and upselling. Robust operational efficiency and logistical support. Competitive advantage in pricing, rush orders, caustic, resources, and expertise.

Cons

Time-consuming manual prospecting methods. No lead generation tools, difficulty in scaling new business development efforts which is part of our KPIs. Higher risk of missing promising leads or market segments due to lack of prospecting tools. Over-reliance on internal resources or personal networks for new business.

Pros

A few wonderful coworkers $30 gym membership reimbursement

Cons

Low Pay - only received 1% pay increase per year, if any Poor leadership (CEO/CFO constantly changing) - with poor communication Poor accountability within company - very toxic work environment No options for career advancement - continuous improvement team was recently closed and all employees let go. The only way to move up in the company is if somebody retires - they don't utilize or follow Individual Development Plans or career path. Man made system - don't have an ERP and data does not integrate well with other systems (company is too cheap and scared to make a change)
