Pros

Nothing. I have to keep typing characters. Zero. Spending a lot of money on compensation tools that don't work. This is crazy.

Cons

18 days into April and the national sales team has no idea what our Q1 numbers are, or if any of us made bonus. What are they doing to our numbers behind the scenes? We can't argue if they are off a few percent, as they always are, due to multiple systems capturing data. Meanwhile, saving a few percentage points per rep adds up to a very nice chunk staying in Univar's pocket. Could you imagine this happening at any other sales & marketing organization? No.

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.
