Business outlook
Pros
Good benefits, good learning opportunity if just starting your career & stable industry. Univar was the best chemical distribution company at one time, however poorly executed expansion and weak leadership decisions slowly destroyed what could have been a true industry leader.
Cons
Good ole boy network when it comes to promotions. Your golf handicap matters more than industry experience (at least where I worked). Weak local management used intimidation to motivate employees by threatening termination. Annual bonus was a joke. One month your tracking to make bonus, the next month your not because the branch screwed the pooch.
