Pros

Experienced Team: Formerra boasts a team with extensive industry knowledge, a valuable asset for any distributor. Market Leader: In the past, the company has a history of leading the plastics distribution market, demonstrating a strong foundation. Growth Opportunities: Due to recent staff reductions, the company offers opportunities for internal advancement for qualified individuals.

Cons

Management Challenges: Data-driven decision making can be hindered by unclear direction and frequent new initiatives. High Sales Pressure: Sales team expectations seem significantly higher than industry standards. Culture: The current work environment lacks a strong company culture and might feel toxic to some. Technology Adoption: The company may benefit from improved integration of technology into daily operations. Reduced Benefits: Company car program has been eliminated, and the bi-annual bonus has been reduced to an annual bonus.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for the years you spent contributing to Formerra. We’re glad to hear you valued the relationships with your colleagues and found the base compensation competitive. At the same time, we recognize that periods of change — including evolving business goals, compensation structures, and benefits programs — can be challenging and don’t always align with every individual’s expectations. Formerra operates in a dynamic, growth‑oriented environment, and while changes are sometimes necessary to support long‑term stability and investment in the business, we understand the importance of clear communication and thoughtful implementation. Feedback like yours helps us continue evaluating how we support our teams and leaders through these transitions. We appreciate your contributions and wish you success in your next chapter.
