Pros

starting pay, salary PTO benefits.

Cons

The corporate Ohio office is in charge of everything yet they are out of touch with the other districts. Phoenix has no in office HR person so good luck getting any HR related issue resolved in a timely manner if at all. They say dont hesitate to bring up issues that are a safety concern or poor work ethic but no one does because there are consequences for doing so. Huge problem in Ohio and it affects all the other offices because most of the higher ups for other offices are running things from Ohio. Higher ups only start acting like supervisors or managers when they are threatened and after the acquisitions from Apollo they are finally doing their jobs but they haven't been for so long that they are detached and making poor decisions.

Pros

All of the former Nexeo people are best in class. What made the acquisition possible and attractive in the first place

Cons

Culture is crap. Hire and promote incompetent, insecure people. If you go against the grain and question the status quo, leadership sees it as a threat to themselves and force good people out. They only want yes men/women Leadership is embarrassingly biased and plays favorites No ownership, people just deflect and blame others. End up fighting internal teams and play politics to appease top level leadership. Culture at Nexeo was best in class. Nexeo culture was built off of creating long term relationships and helping people and customers. After acquisition things have been nothing but downhill Univar culture is transactional and selfish. Me vs You Strategy for growth is beat last year's numbers. No long term strategy except "increase value to shareholders" And instead of paying paying people market value, they invest in stock buybacks
