Minpunten

At brenntag there seems to be a total lack of appreciation from any management for a job well done. Their philosophy seems to be to get the most work out of the smallest amount of people and to pay those people as little as possible, in my area I make about 5k less then the lowest salary that the state lists for "average pay" in my field. Though I haven't discussed specific salaries with any coworkers this seems to be a trend among everyone. Management talks a lot about how much their employees mean to them and how great everyone is in an attention to buddy up to employees and make them think they're appreciated but that's as far as it goes. Actions speak louder than words and anyone paying attention sees that. No ones efforts are ever rewarded or recognized and beyond the top ten or so sales reps, no one in the company every receives any benifit for doing their jobs well except for the personal satisfaction of knowing they did their best. Additionally brenntags quality program and the way it is presented refuses to believe in improvement or perfection in any area, if you aren't reporting enough issues management comes down on you for not reporting enough with the attitude that "there is no way we could be doing that good" the goal seems to be zero issues but you sure as he'll better report that there are issues, even if you have to make something up, meaning if you get some dust in your contact and have to rinse it off you better report it. If you scuff your shoe on a step but remain totally stable, you better report it because you "could have tripped" In short, extremely high stress with zero reward

Pluspunten

Flexible/hybrid work options depending on the team. Some strong colleagues and supportive direct managers.

Minpunten

-Leadership decisions lack clear rationale: Many strategic and operational decisions feel disconnected from on-the-ground realities. Initiatives are frequently rolled out without proper planning or follow-through, creating confusion and rework. -Top-down culture with limited transparency: Communication around major decisions is often vague or inconsistent, leaving employees unclear on priorities and direction. -Internal politics over performance: Advancement and influence can depend more on alignment with leadership than on results or impact. This slows execution and discourages initiative. -Inconsistent recognition and growth opportunities: Performance management can feel constrained, with limited differentiation for top performers. Career progression is unclear and often slow. -Cost-driven decisions at the expense of people: Many choices appear focused on short-term financial outcomes rather than long-term employee development or operational effectiveness. Lack of cohesive strategy: Teams operate in silos with shifting priorities, making it difficult to execute effectively or build momentum.
