Pros

If you are paid an hourly wage you can take advantage of Overtime and "bring home the bacon" if your branch location does not account for their labor costs. I witnessed a co-worker make an extra 30K in overtime. This smooth operator worked in the store so it's safe to say the overtime hours may or may not have been spent sitting down and relaxing. If the phone rang or a customer came to counter the employee would go M.I.A.

Cons

Most Blue Collar/Union workers (majority of customers) dislike that the company is Japanese owned. No organized training program in place. If new to the industry you will be lost and confused the first year if you stick around. If you stick around second year you may pick up some knowledge but you will still be 30 years behind. You get to smell propane all day. Drivers are doomed if they are in an accident even if it's not their fault. If in customer service you have to deal with delinquent customers who live in mansions but can't afford to heat their house.

Pros

It's a job, you probably won't stay long enough for a career. Great trading to go to work for another company.

Cons

If you like to work 70+ hours a week and don't mind stupidly; Matheson is a great company. When they wake up in Japan and start wondering about that 70% turnover rate, perhaps they will change the upper management and get back to being a true leader in the industry.
