Pros

Competitive Pay Great hours Paid Holidays OK benefits

Cons

Most people in management are only in that position either because they know someone, or they were in management with a company that was previously bought out. If you've been with the company longer, you're automatically seniority, versus those that actually know what they're doing. Nothing is confidential, management tells everyone's personal problems, including reasons why someone was terminated. They talk about you behind your back, smile in your face. Code of Ethics/Conflict of Interest is constantly broken. New employees are started out with higher pay than those that have been with the company for years.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, Ability to work without heavy handed management. A very large tool bag of items and equipment to sell. Airgas is a large growth oriented company that prides itself on service through its employees.

Cons

Outrageous goals to meet top compensation $$. Very questionable moral and ethical values within management. Managements willingness to increase a regions set budget half way through the fiscal year to decrease commission and bonus payouts to its employees. Lack of respect for employees and desire to always "Want the next Big Win" without compensating current efforts. Though some price increases are required, Airgas is always passing through misleading price increases that the employees are forced to push onto their customer.

Pros

pay, benefits, people you would deliver to and co workers were cool. hours were great.

Cons

They would not hire staff to grow business, the sales staff are short staffed beyond capacity, customers are bailing due to billing errors all the time, you feel like you have a guillotine over your head all the time. If you do something wrong they will can you regardless of if they need you or not. They answer to USA management and thus there is no autonomy. You have to sign a contract that will effectively make you liable if you do something stupid thus enabling them to fire you. Be very careful if you do work there.
