Brenntag Sales Department Employee Reviews

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I like the transparency and the fact that they do make an effort to get the message across. They are approachable and have clear goals on the direction forward. I think our Leadership team is pretty strong and have the knowledge to take us to the next level.

They have a clear vision but are also listening intently to what employees at all levels are saying.

Communication and transparency. They are all down to earth and truly seem to care about the Brenntag Family.

They need to change the culture away from internally focus and move the culture to more customer focus.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Not sure at the moment.

Review from Sales Dept

profit sharing plan and 401K!!!

Review from Sales Dept

We are offered a wide array of benefits to select from. Our 401K is excellent.

I really like the bonus structure.

Review from Sales Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

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

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

better access to my customer base, and more organizational software.

Review from Sales Dept

Lack of clarity in my role. Zero understanding of future career growth opportunities. Skillset and experience are being underutilized and unappreciated. Would feel better about compensation if I were actually compensated appropriately.

Review from Sales Dept

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

I do have a new team. Training is needed to get them up -to speed in order to provide the best customer service experience. The great thing about my team is that they have a good attitude and will do their best to help us achieve our goals. Training will take us further, but attitude is the key.

Review from Sales Dept

Everyone is pulling in the same direction and we look out for each other. We recognize each other's contributions regularly.

Review from Sales Dept

My smaller regional team truly acts like a family. We have each other's backs and we have fun. Local leadership cares about each employee and make us feel valued

Review from Sales Dept

Very cooperative, helpful and dependable

Review from Sales Dept

we work and solve problems as a team

Review from Sales Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

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

Ownership and Accountability. Not all employees are engaged to same level which can be frustrating. Also we tend to work in silos and lack cooperation between departments

Review from Sales Dept

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

Brenntag is evolving rapidly, what is most positive is that we are opening up and becoming a much more inclusive company. This is great to see! it is a 180 degree change in the last 15 years since I joined. Also the company is truly becoming more global, both things combined mean more opportunities

Review from Sales Dept

That we have recently developed a new one and are pushing to achieve those cultural ideals.

Review from Sales Dept

The team works as a team

Review from Sales Dept

Working with my Colleagues and my customers

Review from Sales Dept

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

Outlook Reviews

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
