Pros
Brenntag does offer a full line of nice benefits at a reasonable price. Unlike our larger competitors, we are not in a state of complete disarray which gives a sense of job security.
Cons
As a sales rep, you will have to argue and fight for every penny of earned commission. BGL management will find every reason to keep it and sales reps get tired of fighting over money. This is why we are having a huge amount of turnover. If I had the option to leave, I would leave today. If it was not for my direct manager, I would have left a long time ago. As for other parts of the company, materials management is OK, but could improve. The HR department couldn't be any worse, but fortunately other managers understand the benefits if you have any questions. Operations has had their share of turnover too so it is a struggle at times to get products delivered on time. As a general rule, most of the top managers (for the Great Lakes region) have no moral compass. A great company to work for but you will be exhausted from fighting for what you have rightfully earned.
