    What’s it like working at Brenntag?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Brenntag appreciate the above-industry benefits, particularly the medical benefits, as well as the competitive compensation. The company provides regular training through the Brenntag Academy and encourages work-life balance by promoting the use of leave. Employees also enjoy the well-funded company activities, such as the Christmas party.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including a perceived lack of management support and issues with the organizational culture. Employees have noted complicated business processes, such as the need to simplify the SAP process, as well as concerns about bureaucracy within certain groups. There are also feelings that good performers are not being promoted or recognized appropriately, while non-performers are being promoted and receiving good bonuses. Facilities have been highlighted as an issue, with cramped work stations. Additionally, the professionalism of some employees, particularly within the sales team, has been questioned, and the company's ERP system is seen as needing improvement to better address the company's needs.
