Pros

Hours are good, M-F no weekends or holidays. Company phone & laptop.

Cons

Since the Air Liquide acquisition they are always looking to cut expenses any way possible. Payroll is viewed as the greatest expense rather than the greatest asset. Branch Managers have to do and know all. We are the go-to and person responsible for; Safety, DOT compliance, Medical compliance, FDA compliance, in-stock conditions, showroom standards, hiring, and so much more. There are about 15 different reports that come down weekly and monthly that we are held accountable for.

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.
