Pros

The fellow employees or (dirt bags) as management would put it are great to work with, good people.

Cons

Everything. You want to transfer or move up, they write you up or ask if you want to fill out a resignation form. they always want more work, and never give you a raise. this year they said that we where on a wage freeze due to the economy, and arg in the nyse was at its highest stock purchasing rate in 8 years and the profits for my location went up by $287,362. a month on average, and they cant give a $0.40/hr raise . Come on. management has no idea how to do some of the jobs, and corporate is just a bunch of blowhard paper pushers and number crunchers. I challenge mike molinini to come work in production for 1 month and recive the lousy $800 every 2 weeks paid. Airgas is way behind in times on the cost of living. praxair hires their guys at $3 /hr more than my wage now to start. I've been with Airgas for 5 years and new employees are getting hired on at more money. don't work here

Horrible commission structure

Pros

We sell a wide variety of products

Cons

Account managers are paid on a 70/30 split with commission for over the quota sales. This sounded great when I signed up however I soon realized that the budget is entirely out of reach. I have signed an extremely large amount of business this year. However it does not seam to matter because I have not seen a dime in commission or even more than the 70% of my salary. Then to add insult to injury they already added all business that was in my pipeline to my next years goals. That's business that I have been working on and have not yet gotten. So of I can sign everything I've been working on plus 10% I will make my quota rather than all that new business going toward commission. If I was paid a low straight commission I would easily pull 6 figures. Instead I am living at poverty level

Pros

Decent Pay and decent benefits

Cons

Expectations have been higher than ever while operations have been the worst they’ve ever been. Airgas has been pushing hard on account managers to get new business when they can barely support the current business they have. And due to the operation struggles we continuously face, we have overpriced ourselves out of the market. Also, this company is about favoritism over proven track records when it comes to promoting within.
