Pros

It used to be a good company, not anymore.

Cons

This company has too much politics and no direction. They need restructuring and fresh management. A management that cares about people and understands the value of employees and their knowledge. The ever-changing management hardly understands the chemical distribution industry. The IT department is the worst. They lack energy, creativity and honesty.

An American company with a terrible management

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a friendly environment with casual dress code. Even when I was a contractor there, they used to treated me like a Univar employee. I learnt a lot (by myself).

Cons

They are doing a huge reconstruction, firing people without even considering what the impact will be on the business. You go to the office being afraid of being fired the same day. They work with a very American mentality. The 40% of employee has been cut in the last 6 months while they keep saying Univar is the leader on the market! They hire people without experience paying them the minimum, but then they do not train them on the job or on the Univar specific stuff. Very often people make considerable mistakes just because of the poor training.
