Pros

Great people, great people, great people. When the going gets tough the staff is extremely dedicated to their jobs and are willing to put in excessive hours to get the job done. It’s not hard to find a great team who has your back if you’re willing to put in the effort. Simply if you don’t want to work - don’t work at Univar. There is room for advancement but don’t expect significant raises without upward movement. If you get hired here, it’s stable company because of the diversity of its products/services. Univar seems to be here for the long run.

Cons

The company is going though growing pains with the acquisition of Nexeo. Much of the staff who has been there for years was/is getting laid off if they aren’t willing to relocate to a few central locations. This means many unexperienced new hires. The new culture at Univar is that you are simply a number hired to do a task - not much loyalty. Univar also runs an extremely tight staff which means lots OT opportunity if hourly, if you are salary you are still expected to put in the hours for no additional compensation.
