Pros

Most people have never heard of Brenntag but it is a $15bn company that supplies pretty much every other company that you have heard of with their chemical needs. That said, if you are on the account management side of the business you will get wide exposure to many types of businesses. I have not had many bad experiences with other employees. Management is relatively accessible and there is a lot of freedom to excel to the degree you choose. Brenntag is quite entrepreneurial which makes it a good environment to learn and be challenged

Cons

There is a lot of work coming through, therefore you have to prioritize well. Even if you do a good job prioritizing, you will only be able to keep up with extra hours.

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.
