Pros

Univar is a global organisation with a strong reputation which does give a sense of stability & job satisfaction. The people are definitely the company’s best asset & you do feel part of a team.

Cons

It does feel that although the business is growing meaning the workload is however the workforce is not. Quite often it feels that you are firefighting as you do not have adequate time to complete the day to day tasks. This seems to be the feeling across many different areas of the business & does have a negative effect on morale. There seems to have been a high turnover of staff over the last few years & experienced people have been lost.

Pros

Exposure to large, high-value accounts and complex operational challenges. The role builds resilience quickly and provides strong experience in account management, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. There is a high level of ownership in day-to-day responsibilities, which can accelerate skill development for those who are self-driven.

Cons

Since the acquisition by Apollo, the work environment has noticeably declined. While new processes were introduced, leadership often did not take the time to fully understand or follow them, creating confusion and inconsistency across teams. Employees who raised questions or tried to improve processes were not always received positively, which discouraged feedback and innovation. There is also a lack of alignment between departments, leading to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and added pressure on employees managing critical accounts. Workloads are frequently excessive without adequate support, contributing to burnout and turnover. Compensation does not consistently reflect the level of responsibility and workload expected, which further impacts morale and retention. Overall, the organization feels reactive rather than structured, and direction has become increasingly unclear.
