Pros

Exposure to a big multinational business. The company has recently taken it upon itself to improve its practices with the CX (Customer Experience) initiative.

Cons

Not enough staff for the amount of work needing to be done and no urgency to recruit suitable candidates. Staff not paid well enough (leading to high turnover of staff). Not enough development opportunities in non-sales roles.

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.
