Pros

Pay is decent, benefits are good.

Cons

Airgas is an antiquated company who will not survive if they don't change. If you are new to the company and hired into a management position, do not expect to have the support of your superiors in any capacity. You will be promised that the subject matter experts in all facets will be there soon to help you and train you to the Airgas standards, this will never happen. There is absolutely no control over finances for managers, all sales associates have the ability to discount or spend whatever they like utilizing manager privileges due to the fact that Airgas has loss control of their inventory and pricing. All employees at every level have an attitude of "why help, I'll get paid regardless", though they will lie right to your face. I was optimistic when I applied, giving little thought to the low rating on multiple job search sites, that was a mistake. I highly advise no one with ambition to work for this company. If you are lazy and free loading, it is a perfect fit.

Pros

Steady work with consistent OT. Pay is average. They employ a minimal number of drivers (and equipment) so you will definitely get your hours. If someone leaves, takes PTO, or a truck goes down, it gets spread across the remaining drivers.

Cons

Benefits are average at best. Most drivers are expected to work holidays. PTO is approved on seniority basis so don’t plan on being home with family during these times. No shortage of micromanagement. Definitely feel like a line item on a spreadsheet somewhere and not a human.
