Pay is decent but the culture is awful.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay, benefits, work from home some days depending on your role. As salary that is. When I joined as a CS member in 2017 I was given peanuts to survive 30k base pay hourly.

Cons

Coworkers in other departments are down right nasty. The culture is very much about pointing the finger first instead if solving problems. No one really cares about the work or the customers, no one wants blame assigned to them for something not landing on the day it should. This company runs on consistent strive for perfectionism, it will drive you nuts. Univar will overwork you then fire you when you cannot keep up. The stress is insane for what they do, they act like they're doctors saving children, it's just chemicals. My boss's boss told me "just because your doing everything to the best of your ability and operating in good faith doesn't mean you get to keep your job" - Regional Supply planning manager for the west. The toxicity at the company is rampant and you'd smart to stay away.
