      Worked there before they had a human resource person so it was like a male fraternity

      Pros

      they gave me the tools to succeed, good pricing, their own delivery trucks, etc.. My first Manager was very nice and respectful, but he moved onto Brenntag Hdq, then our new Mgr had napoleon complex....

      Cons

      As I said, Mgmt is different now, from when I worked there. They go through Reps. like water....I guess to keep salaries low. Yrs ago we had a VP of sales that was an idiot and from what I hear things are better now. Making me drive many hours into office in reading for my office day and I had to be there by 8 am and stay until 5!!

      Good place to gain commercial experience and exposure to chemical and manufacturing industries.

      Pros

      Most people have never heard of Brenntag but it is a $15bn company that supplies pretty much every other company that you have heard of with their chemical needs. That said, if you are on the account management side of the business you will get wide exposure to many types of businesses. I have not had many bad experiences with other employees. Management is relatively accessible and there is a lot of freedom to excel to the degree you choose. Brenntag is quite entrepreneurial which makes it a good environment to learn and be challenged

      Cons

      There is a lot of work coming through, therefore you have to prioritize well. Even if you do a good job prioritizing, you will only be able to keep up with extra hours.
