Air Products Employer Reviews

I worked nights in Laporte and would assist setting up jobs for the pipe fitters and welders. I would also assist in any tasks that were needed throughout the plant.

Good place to work. The management team is very professional. The environment makes for a good learning experience.

Everyday starts out with safety meeting, streches and excersice. We go through the work orders and go out and fix replace or repair what is on our tasks for the day. We all work as teams and mostly everyone gets along very well.
Learning process is an everyday thing becauce something new usually comes up, but past experience always comes in handy on – more... these occations.
As in every place there will be some friction or descrepencies of some sort but are easilly worked out through the channels set in place and everyone goes on and work is back to normal.
The most fun we had would be at our celebration parties. whether at the plant for safety records or anniversaries or whatever! – less

Management style is out dated... reluctant to change

high level of integrity
hard part of the job is process oriented, atmosphere, and lack of clarity from management

A good company to work for the problem is the plant was sold and i most likely will not have a job after december.

MY POSITION IS A VERY PRESSURISED POSITION WITH LONG HOURS. I HAVE LEARNT TO WORK ON JDE. I ENJOY THE INTERACTION WITH MANAGEMENT AND TECHNICIANS ON A DAILY BASIS.

I was working as Assitant Consutant for new pharmaceutical device product to evaluate manufacturing and packaging standards as per FDA rules and standards and writing reports for the same

Air Products was wonderful. Everyone helped each other and the compassion for their jobs was evident.

I really enjoyed working here, I made alot of life lOng friends. Managment as very supportive of my career development plan. Unfourtionatly not alot of advancement opportunity for women.

I am able to adjust my schedule for each week. flexible and relaxed environment.

Insured compliance of all programs and completed monthly reports for submission to local and state agencies. Supported Turnarounds in California and Canada as the Outage EH&S Officer to build and – more... promote a safety culture and to ensure the safety of all contractors. Folowed up on all employee and contractor first aid reports, Near miss and injury reports. Reported and tracked all injuries in the Corporate database. Trained site personnel in forklift operation and safety, Respirator use and fit test, Chemical hazards, handling and disposal. – less

If you do a days work you will be punished by being laid off. Most workers were slackers and those who weren't, had to behave in such a way as to look like slackers. People would sleep on the job. The management is out of control, or should I say have no control, or don't want to control. Corporate would come in help with the "back log" or work. Most – more... workers spent the day on the phone or on facebook. Corporate should have a closer look at what goes on in Leetsdale. – less

I typically balance a few projects at once and can work on each of them for a portion of each day. I've learned how to effective communicate with others at all experience levels to ensure we all can work together as a productive team. The most enjoyable part of my job is working with engineers of all discplines and backgrounds. In my position, I see – more... how the diverse team works together on a common goal. It also is apparent how those differences in opinion and engineering backgrounds adds value to the end goal too. – less

I’ve attended CI (Continuous Improvement) training included two methods which are ACE(Air Products Cause and Effect and CI sub process Mapping and waster analysis). ACE event is to clearly identify a problem, set improvement targets, identify causes of problems, identify and plan actions for improvement and visually track the progress. Mapping is a – more... focusing tool to see the waste in a process and seeing the value added and non value added steps. Waste Analysis is a means to quantify the waste.
So, I have participated in two CI events (Continuous Improvement) for defining root cause / solution to achieve Billing Complaint Resolution Time and reduce number of cancelled billing document. – less

APCI is a great company. It is very large, and it is but hard to advance there without managment mentor.

Projects are given to the sr project technicians that have been with the company for 20 years or more.

HR will not promote from the inside even though an individual has worked the position in an outside company. One must take a lateral move, if lucky in three years receive promotion.

The enjoyable part of the job is working independently and finding – more... function that allow growth.

Working with one project manager, I grew in my project management skills and under his mentoring developed a path to move into. – less

The company is very slow, moving in all directions but with no magnitude. Needs to focus added value decision making and re structure the decision making process.

A lot of fun to work in however not so large.

A very non diverse place to work, very few African Americans employed.

I would entered build of materials in a computer program and have many projects. The co-workers and management were very down to earth.

I really enjoyed my sales and sales management career with Air Products.
