Pros

Brenntag has many good people. Benefits are also very good. Pay is average for the industry. Has some of the nicest, hardest working, and caring people.

Cons

Brenntag has many good people, but the operation as a whole is very old school. They rely heavily on email, so it is typical to receive 400-600 emails per day while trying to balance an unrealistic workload. This role will burn people out, unless you are a workoholic and are willing to put 60-70 hours a week at a job that has little hope for growth potential. Chaotic environment that doesn't have the proper systems structure in place. If it weren't for the people, i would give the company a 1 star rating

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.
