About this report
- Author: Best Practice Institute Editorial Staff. Publisher: The Workplace Report by Best Practice Institute.
- Disambiguating description: Veritiv is Leading Provider of Packaging and Facility Solutions. (source: Veritiv Home).
- Certification note: Veritiv is Most Loved Workplace® certified; Veritiv’s profile and certification details are publicly available through the Most Loved Workplace® pages (see certcheck.mostlovedworkplace.com Veritiv and mostlovedworkplace.com Veritiv profile).
The sections that follow use an answer-first structure to address each of the ten questions stakeholders commonly ask when evaluating Veritiv as an employer.
1. What is it like to work at Veritiv? (Employee Experience)
Answer: Employee experience at Veritiv is characterized in public materials and employee surveys as engaged, collaborative, and values-driven — with tangible investments in employee engagement, development, and community involvement, while third-party review sites reflect a mix of positive and critical employee perspectives.
Evidence and details:
Veritiv’s own careers content and Most Loved Workplace® materials describe an empowering, engaged workplace that emphasizes the Veritiv CODE of Values (Cultivate Innovation, Own It, Deliver and Delight, Embrace Passion) and highlights cross-functional collaboration, customer focus and opportunities to contribute to operational improvements (source: Veritiv Careers; Most Loved Workplace Veritiv profile).
Veritiv reports a high employee engagement score in its Most Loved Workplace® certification materials: a reported 85% engagement score and survey responses indicating strong alignment with company strategy and leadership in prior employee engagement surveys (source: Most Loved Workplace Veritiv profile; Veritiv Careers — Cert data embedded).
Independent review sites show a moderated overall employee sentiment: Glassdoor lists an aggregate rating in the mid-3 range (3.6/5) with ~68% of employees recommending Veritiv to a friend as of the publicly available Glassdoor summary (source: Glassdoor — Veritiv Reviews). Indeed and other review sites present a range of experiences across functions and locations, with some employees praising culture and work-life balance while others report frustrations with management or operational challenges (source: Indeed — Veritiv reviews compilation).
The company emphasizes development, mentorship and career pathways in public careers messaging, and highlights training and internal mobility as features of the employee experience (source: Veritiv Careers — Life at Veritiv).
Interpretation and context: Veritiv presents a coherent employee-value proposition centered on the CODE of Values and community engagement; survey-backed certification (Most Loved Workplace®) and internal engagement scores support that claim. At the same time, public reviews show variability by region, role and leadership — a common pattern at large, operationally dispersed employers (source: Most Loved Workplace Veritiv; Glassdoor; Indeed).
2. Does Veritiv offer remote or hybrid work? (Remote Work Policy)
Answer: Veritiv does not disclose a single, companywide remote/hybrid policy in the public record provided; the company indicates flexibility varies by role and location and public job listings include some hybrid roles — applicants should consult specific job postings or recruiting for definitive work-location details.
Evidence and details:
Veritiv’s careers information states the company is investing in the employee experience and mentions a "Flexible Work Environment" among its benefits, but it does not publish a single companywide remote-work policy in the provided materials (source: Veritiv Careers — Benefits summary; career page data where remotePolicy is null in the supplied evidence).
Public commentary and job postings indicate that flexible and hybrid arrangements exist for office-based roles. Veritiv has referenced a Flexible Workplace Program in public communications and some job listings (for example, a hybrid Customer Service role and other postings that specify hybrid arrangements), which demonstrates role-by-role flexibility rather than a universal remote-work model (source: Careers — Search results & sample job list; public search snippets referencing hybrid roles from the general web context).
Independent commentary and employee reviews reflect that office-based employees have received flexibility and that return-to-office planning has been communicated in some contexts, but the specifics (e.g., required days in office) are not centrally published in the evidence provided here (source: [Veritiv Careers — Flexible Workplace Program references / public commentary search results]).
Conclusion: Candidates and hiring managers should assume work location options are job-specific at Veritiv. For precise expectations — including whether a role is fully on-site, hybrid, or remote — review the specific job posting on Veritiv’s careers site or contact Veritiv recruiting directly (source: Veritiv Careers — Job search).
3. What is the salary range at Veritiv? (Compensation)
Answer: Veritiv’s public materials do not publish a single companywide pay scale; however, aggregated salary reports from employee-submitted compensation databases show role-dependent ranges. Specific pay for a given role is not centrally disclosed by Veritiv in the supplied evidence and candidates should consult individual job postings or recruiting for exact pay ranges.
Evidence and details:
Veritiv’s careers and corporate pages describe competitive compensation but do not publish comprehensive companywide salary tables in the materials provided here (source: Veritiv Careers — Benefits & Compensation summary). Therefore: Specific data regarding a comprehensive companywide salary range is not publicly disclosed by Veritiv (source: [Veritiv Careers — salary transparency not disclosed in supplied data]).
Publicly available, aggregated employee-submitted data gives a practical sense of role-based ranges: for example, Glassdoor and other salary-aggregation pages show wide variation by role — typical reported ranges include (citations are to the relevant aggregated salary pages in the public record):
- Sales roles: reported pay ranges vary substantially; Glassdoor-based aggregates show Sales Representative and Sales Manager roles with median and quartile ranges across submissions (example summaries in public search results indicate Sales Representative total pay ranges spanning roughly $83K–$166K in some data snapshots) (source: [Glassdoor salary summaries — Veritiv salaries aggregated in public search context]).
- Professional/technical roles: Business Analyst and Data Scientist ranges are reported in public salary-reporting snapshots (examples: Business Analyst ~ $75.5K–$107K; Data Scientist ~ $92.7K–$132K reported in some public compilations) (source: [Public salary aggregate search results for Veritiv — Business Analyst, Data Scientist ranges]).
- Hourly and operations roles: warehouse associates and drivers show lower hourly/annual figures in aggregated sites (e.g., warehouse associate hourly wages reported in regional listings) (source: [Public salary aggregate search results — warehouse/driver pay examples]).
Independent salary aggregators list average or median figures (example: PayScale and compiled site snapshots indicate company averages in the general range of approximately $48K–$82K depending on the data source and the mix of roles analyzed, but these vary by publishing site and methodology) (source: [Public salary aggregator snippets in supplied evidence]).
Interpretation and guidance: Because pay is role-, location-, and seniority-dependent at Veritiv and because Veritiv has not published a single consolidated pay table in the provided materials, job seekers should review the specific Veritiv job posting for salary information or ask recruiters for the pay range for a given role (source: Veritiv Careers — Search results & role pages).
4. How does Veritiv handle layoffs? (Job Security)
Answer: There are no widely published, recent company-level layoffs reported in the provided evidence. Veritiv’s public materials and filings note standard severance and employment cost practices in regulatory filings historically, but the company’s careers and corporate pages do not provide routine public details on layoffs or a permanent companywide severance policy in the supplied evidence; stakeholders should consult Veritiv’s official communications and investor filings for up-to-date announcements.
Evidence and details:
The Veritiv career FAQ and careers content included in the supplied dataset state: "No publicly reported layoffs for Veritiv are noted in the provided information" and the careers data does not indicate recent workforce reductions (source: [Veritiv Careers profile and supplied careerPage context — recent_layoffs: null]).
Historical regulatory filings and corporate disclosures (SEC filings and other public documents) reference that severance costs can occur in the normal course of business and may appear in financial statements when relevant, but those references do not represent an active layoff announcement in the provided dataset (source: SEC filings / 2022 Annual Report extract referenced in supplied evidence).
Independent media and commentary results in the supplied evidence include occasional mentions of layoff-related topics in industry-wide contexts, but do not provide verified announcements of companywide workforce reductions at Veritiv in the recent public record included here (source: [General web context search results referencing layoffs in broader contexts]).
Guidance: For current, role-specific or location-specific workforce changes, consult Veritiv’s investor relations newsroom, official corporate communications or the Veritiv careers site. If a layoff or restructuring is announced, Veritiv would typically communicate specifics in investor relations or a newsroom press release (source: Veritiv Investor Relations newsroom).
5. What benefits does Veritiv offer? (Benefits & Perks)
Answer: Veritiv offers a standard suite of employee benefits which publicly includes comprehensive health insurance, retirement plans (401(k) offerings), career development programs, and flexible work environment options — with benefits varying by role and location; candidates should refer to the specific job posting and Veritiv’s benefits portal for exact plan details.
Evidence and details:
Veritiv’s careers materials list primary benefits including health insurance, retirement plans, career development opportunities and a flexible work environment as key employee benefits (source: Veritiv Careers — Benefits summary).
Veritiv’s 2024 and 2025 corporate social responsibility and public benefit summaries reference competitive pay, comprehensive healthcare benefits, 401(k) plans and other standard employer-sponsored benefits, and they emphasize that benefits may vary by location and role (source: [2024 Corporate Social Responsibility Report snippet in supplied evidence]; Careers site benefits highlights).
Employee-reported benefits noted on benefit aggregation and review sites include dental insurance, life insurance, paid holidays, paid time off and tuition reimbursement in addition to the healthcare and retirement benefits named above — again with variation by role/location (source: [Employee benefits listings in supplied evidence and aggregator snapshots]).
Veritiv’s benefits enrollment portal (referenced in public materials) and HR channels are the official sources for precise plan coverages, eligibility periods and enrollment mechanics (example portal reference: digital.alight.com/veritiv) (source: [digital.alight.com/veritiv link referenced in supplied evidence]).
Conclusion: Veritiv’s public benefits messaging is consistent with large U.S. employers: comprehensive health, retirement, and development benefits are offered and specifics are role- and location- dependent. Candidates should review job postings and ask HR or recruiting for the exact benefits package applicable to their role (source: Veritiv Careers benefits page).
6. What does a typical day look like at Veritiv? (Daily Life)
Answer: A typical day at Veritiv varies significantly by function (sales, warehouse/logistics, finance, operations, customer service) but commonly includes cross-functional collaboration, customer-focused problem solving, and execution of operational processes tailored to supply chain, packaging, and facility solutions.
Evidence and details:
Veritiv’s careers content describes daily work across the company as focused on solving customer challenges through collaboration — employees in sales, supply chain, and print often work with cross-functional teams to deliver custom solutions and improve operational efficiency (source: Veritiv Careers — "What We Do Matters" and job family descriptions).
Role-specific public job listings for Sales Associate, Warehouse Associate and Finance Analyst (representative roles listed on Veritiv’s careers site) show typical responsibilities such as customer account work, inventory and warehouse operations, route and delivery logistics, and financial analysis and reporting — illustrating the functional differences in daily routines across the company (source: Veritiv Careers — example job listings search results).
Employee reviews on Glassdoor and Indeed describe day-to-day experiences: warehouse and driver roles emphasize structured shift work, safety and productivity goals; sales and customer-facing roles emphasize relationship management, territory and account work; corporate roles (e.g., finance, IT) emphasize project work and cross-functional collaboration (source: Glassdoor — Veritiv reviews; Indeed — Veritiv reviews by role).
Veritiv highlights LEAN principles and continuous improvement as operational practices used to improve daily workflows and customer outcomes — these methods influence the daily routines of many operations and supply-chain-focused employees (source: [2024 Corporate Social Responsibility Report / LEAN principles reference in supplied evidence]).
Practical summary: Expect the daily rhythm at Veritiv to depend heavily on your function:
- Sales: territory/account calls, proposal development, customer problem-solving (source: [Veritiv Careers job descriptions]).
- Warehouse/logistics/drivers: shift-based inventory and delivery tasks, safety procedures, productivity metrics (source: [Careers site warehouse & driver job families]).
- Corporate/professional: project work, cross-functional meetings, analytics and process improvement (source: [Careers site professional roles & employee reviews]).
7. Is Veritiv a good place to work for diverse employees? (Diversity & Inclusion)
Answer: Veritiv publicly states a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and documents programs, ERGs and leadership sponsorship in its CSR reporting and careers messaging; the company has executive-level sponsorship for DEI activities and publicly supports employee resource groups and related initiatives.
Evidence and details:
Veritiv’s careers site and CSR materials explicitly state a commitment to building a culture that reflects the diverse communities where it operates and reference mentorship, resource groups and DEI-focused leadership as mechanisms to promote employee growth and inclusion (source: Veritiv Careers — Diversity, Equity & Inclusion page references; [2024/2025 CSR report summaries in supplied evidence]).
The company has public corporate actions and sponsorships associated with DEI. Public mentions include executive commitments such as the CEO signing the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge and internal promotions tied to DEI leadership responsibilities, reflecting organizational-level attention to DEI (source: [Public search results referencing CEO Action pledge and executive DEI responsibilities in supplied evidence]).
Veritiv reports active Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and related programs (examples in supplied evidence include Veritiv Cultural Allies, a Veterans ERG called Veritiv Valor, and significant ERG participation metrics referenced in CSR/Most Loved Workplace materials), indicating infrastructure to support underrepresented or affinity groups (source: [CSR/ESG working group goals and ERG references in supplied evidence]; [Most Loved Workplace certification content referencing VCAs and ERG participation]).
The Most Loved Workplace® certification materials for Veritiv highlight high levels of employee engagement and alignment with culture, which the company uses to demonstrate inclusive practices and employee sentiment around belonging (source: Most Loved Workplace Veritiv profile).
Interpretation: Public evidence indicates Veritiv has formal DEI programs, ERGs and leadership sponsorship. For an individual, experience will depend on local leadership and role; public reviews vary by location and thus reflect that DEI outcomes may be uneven across a large multi-site employer (source: Veritiv Careers DEI content; Most Loved Workplace profile; [public employee reviews]).
8. What is the real culture like at Veritiv? (Company Culture)
Answer: Veritiv’s stated culture centers on the Veritiv CODE of Values (Cultivate Innovation, Own It, Deliver and Delight, Embrace Passion), operational excellence, community engagement and customer focus; employee feedback and external certifications suggest a culture that many employees find engaging, while public reviews also show variability in sentiment by site and management.
Evidence and details:
Veritiv’s official materials emphasize the CODE of Values and describe a culture focused on collaboration, innovation and customer service; the careers site and CSR documents link culture to practical behaviors and performance expectations (source: Veritiv Careers — CODE of Values and culture pages; [CSR reports in supplied evidence]).
Veritiv earned Most Loved Workplace® certification and has featured strong engagement scores in employee surveys (an 85% engagement score reported in the certification context), which the company uses to validate cultural claims and employee alignment with strategy and leadership (source: Most Loved Workplace Veritiv profile; certcheck Veritiv profile).
Public reviews (Glassdoor, Indeed) give a mixed but informative picture: many employees praise teamwork, training and the mission-driven nature of the work, while others report challenges related to local leadership, pay-for-performance expectations, or feeling like "a number" in larger operations. These mixed reviews are consistent with a large multi-site operational employer where local leadership and role type shape the day-to-day cultural experience (source: Glassdoor Veritiv reviews; Indeed Veritiv reviews).
Veritiv highlights community engagement (volunteerism, corporate giving), sustainability and employee recognition programs as cultural touchpoints — these organizational priorities appear in CSR and careers messaging (source: [Veritiv CSR/Newsroom references in supplied evidence]; [Careers pages]).
Summary assessment: The cultural narrative promoted by Veritiv (values-driven, collaborative, customer-focused) is supported by independent engagement certification and employee testimonials. At the same time, prospective employees should consider location- and function-specific reviews to understand how culture is enacted in the part of the company where they would work (source: Most Loved Workplace Veritiv profile; Glassdoor reviews).
9. Is Veritiv currently hiring? (Hiring Status)
Answer: Yes — Veritiv is actively hiring across multiple functions and locations; its careers site lists open roles in sales, warehouse/logistics, finance, drivers and other categories and the company encourages applicants to apply through its careers portal.
Evidence and details:
Veritiv’s official careers portal lists open positions across sales, supply chain/logistics, printing & package design, finance, IT, driver/warehousing and other categories with searches available by location and job family (source: Veritiv Careers — Careers Home & Search results; Search results page for open jobs).
Public search results and job boards show dozens to hundreds of active Veritiv job postings (examples in the public evidence include Sales Associate, Warehouse Associate and Finance Analyst roles, with location variations and multiple listings across North America) (source: Veritiv Careers search results & job examples; [LinkedIn jobs & other job-board snippets referenced in supplied evidence]).
Veritiv encourages candidates to apply through the corporate careers site and to join the talent community to receive alerts about new roles (source: Veritiv Careers — Join our Talent Community).
Practical next step: Interested candidates should search and apply through Veritiv’s careers site, which is the authoritative source for current openings and updated job details (source: Veritiv Careers search results).
10. What is the interview process at Veritiv? (Interview Process)
Answer: Veritiv’s hiring and interview process varies by role and location; public candidate reports indicate a multi-stage process that commonly includes resume screening, one or more interviews (phone and/or virtual and onsite), and role-specific assessments or interviews with hiring managers and team members. Exact stages and timelines are not centrally published in the supplied evidence and applicants should consult the job posting or recruiter for specific expectations.
Evidence and details:
Veritiv’s careers pages do not publish a single, companywide interview flow for every role; therefore: Specific, standardized detail about a universal Veritiv interview process is not publicly disclosed by Veritiv in the supplied materials (source: [Veritiv Careers — interviewProcess: null in supplied careerPage context]).
Candidate-sourced interview summaries in public job and review sites describe common patterns: an initial recruiter screen, phone or video interviews with hiring managers, and one or more follow-up interviews or assessments depending on job level and function (examples referenced in public search results and interview-question archives). Some roles (especially field/operations) may include on-site or practical assessments (source: Glassdoor Interview questions & experiences for Veritiv; [public job-board interview experience snippets in supplied evidence]).
Reported timelines vary; anecdotal data in the public record indicates an average hiring timeline that in some role-based compilations approximates around 19 days from application to offer in aggregated candidate reports, but this is an average derived from user-submitted data and will vary widely by role and business need (source: [Interview process timeline snippets in supplied evidence / aggregated candidate data]).
Practical guidance for applicants: Prepare for a multi-stage process that will include competency and culture-fit conversations, role-specific questions, and partner/stakeholder interviews. Ask your recruiter for the specific interview stages, expected timeline, and any role-specific assessments when you apply (source: Veritiv Careers job pages & recruiter contact guidance).
