Pleasing both, the customers and my team members

The ability to work from home. The feeling of accomplishment I get each day.

Helping customers and working with others.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Continued collaboration and focus to make the company better.

Review from Business Development Dept

There needs to be a large overhaul with titles/compensation/responsibility. Unless you have been here 25 years or are in Sales, you will be compensated poorly, and will be undervalued/underutilized. The career path opportunities are vague, and appear non-existent.

Review from Sales Dept

As stated earlier if we filter all problems to look good we are simply not listening to people who know where problems are. No real motivation on Managment side to dig in there

Review from Sales Dept

Love my job and what I do its the overall moral of the company that makes it hard to get excited everyday.

Morale, respect, negativity. Need more employee appreciation, recognition, fair compensation, and activities to boost morale.

Review from Business Development Dept

Need to hire process improvement team and have them conduct process analysis events with members from the departments involved in a process.

The work load it to much for one person I feel invisible. Project Brenntag rollout has not gone well people feel in limbo.

Review from Admin Dept

The way that the culture of sales and not working as a team

Review from Operations Dept

A lot is wrong with our company.

Review from Admin Dept

It'd be nice if Brenntag went back to "Glocal" mentality. We are making it more difficult for small-mid sized customers to do business with us, a decision we will regret when big customers are lost. There are local companies that compete better. Lead times are increase because we don't stock enough

Review from Admin Dept

I have a job to do, but dont have help when i need it. the other guy in my department loads trucks or just doesnt do anything. a few days of the week i ave to help others and cnat get what i need done.

Review from Operations Dept

Get more people to help do the job.
