Pros

Do your homework and think twice before accepting an offer. There are people you will meet who will be trustworthy partners, but be weary. The salary is good and so are the benefits.

Cons

It depends on which side of the company you are within. The specialties side has a very toxic culture whereas the essentials side does not. These were remote positions before and are now being forced back into the office, which makes Brenntag less competitive for high performance talent. There is a significant head count reduction ongoing with positions eliminated immediately, forcing work onto the already stretched and stressed workforce.

Pros

When I was able to finally put in my two weeks.

Cons

I could barely afford groceries on their salary. Terrible upper management, that sat around stroking their own egos and solving not one issue for the team. Upper management bullying. Was told for the first 6 months of working there that we were awful. Worked 12 hour days the first weeks in without one thank you. Gaslighting on a level I have never experienced. Zero opportunity for advancement. Would tell us no overtime for months, then pull us in the office and ask why we were not utilizing all the overtime we were allowed to use.
