What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Being connected to the general employee population, making employee engagement an everyday activity (versus event-based or one-time bonuses), become more diverse in every aspect (including diversity of thought).
Review from HR Dept
Overall engagement, communication, transparency, vision, and training.
Review from Sales Dept
Communicating, unifying, and letting us know where we are going as a company. We need one top leader to have a presence and he/she needs to ensure people do their jobs, are held accountable and are respectful to one another.
Review from Business Development Dept
The VP I work for was promoted from a manager to VP overnight. He has poor communication and I don't see any strategic plan from him. He also does a poor job of pushing the C Suite for support/resources. As a result, the VPs of other departments are working to ensure he fails. (which means we fail)
COMMUNICATE!!!! Silence breads roomers Treat people less as numbers making your number look good and more as People making it happen
Review from Admin Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I do believe I am "valued"...but at the same time I think there is room for a salary increase. I have already brought this up with my boss and I am confident this is being addressed.
Review from Sales Dept
Paid at competitive market rates (especially given the constantly growing scope of most roles, where responsibilities are added without compensation)
Review from HR Dept
Our industry as a whole is undervalued, and our pay has not kept up with the pace of our work, especially during recent inflationary period.
Review from Sales Dept
There is still a gap between pay for employees who came to Brenntag via acquisition, and legacy Brenntag employees. I think that the market pay for my same role would be higher.
Review from Sales Dept
I do not feel that I am compensated for all my years of experience in the outside Brenntag world. I took a pay cut when I started here 6 years ago and I have still not reached the salary I made prior to coming on board with Brenntag.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
They need to be more accessible, most all of the employees that are working remotely are very hard to get a hold of and they seem to not be available when needed, also we receive a lot of emails late, shows me that they are able to do their work whenever it is convenient to them.
Review from Operations Dept
Competency, Accountability, Commitment, Attitude. Too much of a "that's not my job" mentality. The organization feels completely siloed and disconnected from one another.
Review from Sales Dept
Actually doing their jobs and not trying to pass everything off on to everyone else to do. Look into things it might just be one more click to get the answer.
Lack of respect for others and no leadership coaching people to be kind and respectful in interactions. Has been an issue since long before I started.
Review from Business Development Dept
They also need a lot of improvements.
Review from Admin Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Communication. Decisions and changes are made with little regard to the impact to the person working to ensure customer satisfaction. Change needs to happen here but it needs to be communicated.
A lot needs to change.
Review from Admin Dept
More interactive with other people.
Review from Sales Dept
Employee appreciation, people bend over backwards to make things happen and do not get appreciated

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.
