Pros

Able to adjust to industry/market changes efficiently Good benefits Emphasis on safety

Cons

The expression "Too Many Chiefs, not enough Indians" describes this organization's structure to a T. Far too many executives, directors, associate directors, managers, assistant managers, supervisors, etc which realistically, can be cut down at least 50%. Most positions in the middle/upper management spend very little time with the lower level employees to understand the day to day, and spend more time conducting tedious meetings with no clear direction. Very large disconnect between upper and lower level employees which results in very little push for productive change when issues or concerns are brought up in the day to day activities. Being a chemical distributor, Brenntag is sometimes at the mercy of unforeseen/uncontrollable circumstances in the world of supply chain. These circumstances lead to situations where transit delays take place. Experience with Brenntsg has shown that the company is not aware that these circumstances exist at times and do not plan expectations around them. Very unrealistic expectations for a company that works in the field of supply chain

Pros

Easy work, great co workers

Cons

Too many unnecessary office employees, and management. Driver facing cameras. Childish policies. A lot of brainstorming that mostly revolves around how to blame a driver or how to take money back out of drivers pockets in favor of paying people in the office whose jobs should be consolidated or replaced. They started paying more after Covid because their hand was forced, then the big minds got together and made new policies to take more than half of that money back from the driver and people who work overtime because clearly those people aren’t smart enough to figure that out and will just take it.
