Very generous company, great business model and some great people who work for them. Great team at the top too.

Pros

-Nice benefits -Company car -There is room for advancemnt in the company, since its so big. This can include going to another country, however I would only recommend this if you're going into management.

Cons

- X number of calls per day, is enforced by management. Minimum 50 hours per week. -Sales manager is consistently up your rear end -Company has marketing/telemarketers called Brenntag Solutions group, who many times pester buying customers with new products they dont need, and strain relationships. This loses accounts. -Mandatory gradual price increases often makes company non-competetive, losing buisness to Pride, Univar, etc. -Suppliers consistently can't meet supply (such as fumed silica), losing buisness to domestic competitors.
