Vantaggi

401k match and contribution; good health benefits

Svantaggi

This company does not invest in their current employees. There is no investment in providing growth opportunities, professional development, tech programs, certificates or anything of the sort. High performing employees will not receive correlating compensation increases; they will only receive higher work loads and more stress. Low employee satisfaction surveys will yield no real changes, improvements, or even inquiries into what employees what or need from the company. Though OT is stated to be rare during hiring process, in reality OT is expected for about 1hr/day plus weekends, company holidays, national holidays as the manager decides. This includes full Saturdays at the whim of the department manager. More than half of our full time employees (not including contractors) have left in the past two months. Instead of seeing leadership develop and implement changes for employee satisfaction, they instead expect the rest of the team to work long hours and weekends to make up for the lost labor. There is extremely low morale and burn out among the remaining team members. There is no incentive or motivation from the company for us to give up our personal time and work-life balance. The company does not care about their employees’ wellness and satisfaction; the company only cares about its bottom line. Terrible, toxic work culture that expects you to give up your personal time (esp. during a pandemic!) to work long hours and not receive bonuses or even qualified annual increases. There is immense stress and pressure placed on employees to complete as much work as possible. It is all very toxic and employee morale reflects it.

First, thanks for your 1+ year of dedication to Univar Solutions. We're sorry to hear that your experience with us has been challenging. We take pride in being a place Where People Matter, and it is very important to us that our employees have a work/life balance. We recognize there are requests to work Saturdays and some OT in this area in order to help train our new team members. This is a short term request to prepare for the work to be more evenly distributed across multiple teams instead of just one. We have shared your candid feedback with the respective leadership team, but we also encourage you to connect with your local HR Business Partner to voice your concerns.

Vantaggi

Exposure to large, high-value accounts and complex operational challenges. The role builds resilience quickly and provides strong experience in account management, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. There is a high level of ownership in day-to-day responsibilities, which can accelerate skill development for those who are self-driven.

Svantaggi

Since the acquisition by Apollo, the work environment has noticeably declined. While new processes were introduced, leadership often did not take the time to fully understand or follow them, creating confusion and inconsistency across teams. Employees who raised questions or tried to improve processes were not always received positively, which discouraged feedback and innovation. There is also a lack of alignment between departments, leading to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and added pressure on employees managing critical accounts. Workloads are frequently excessive without adequate support, contributing to burnout and turnover. Compensation does not consistently reflect the level of responsibility and workload expected, which further impacts morale and retention. Overall, the organization feels reactive rather than structured, and direction has become increasingly unclear.
