Pros

There benefits are affordable. Several locations through out the United States but is foreign owned. Well established in the industry and stable.

Cons

Company is run by a "good ole boys" mentality with upper management. With the decline in the industry in previous years they have created an environment of distrust and paranoia. There is no loyalty for longevity or dedication. It is a environment writhe with "CYA". After more than 10 years of employment I found it a struggle not to let the negativity in.

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

Easy work, great co workers

Cons

Too many unnecessary office employees, and management. Driver facing cameras. Childish policies. A lot of brainstorming that mostly revolves around how to blame a driver or how to take money back out of drivers pockets in favor of paying people in the office whose jobs should be consolidated or replaced. They started paying more after Covid because their hand was forced, then the big minds got together and made new policies to take more than half of that money back from the driver and people who work overtime because clearly those people aren’t smart enough to figure that out and will just take it.
