Airgas Employer Reviews

work day starts at 6a.m until... poor front desk disipline...lack of organization..

This company has unqualified supervisors, who abuse the reports in their charge. They foster an environment of non-communication amongst departments, and openly say that the president likes people who can keep their mouths shut. The supervisor over me was insecure, jealous, uneducated, and micromanaged her reports to death. The credit department is – more... a joke and it was painful to have a converstion with management who stumbled to find words pertaining to subjects that should be commonplace for even entry level management. They foster an environment that allows supervisors to alienate reports, discriminate against reports, and insult reports. If one person is a threat and in line to be promoted, the supervisors fire them without just cause. This company claims to be a great place to work, and this is only true if you are inside the clique. It is a seriously mismanaged company at the middle management level because they make it up as they go along and have no clue how to properly direct human capital. It was the most stressful working environment I ever had the misfortune of working in. I would not recommend this company to anyone who is not a sadomasacist. – less

Delivery and pick up of industrial gas cylnders and assisting in day to day warehouse duties. I learned safety practices and handling in transport of cylnders. Most importantly, I learned never to get injured on the job. The hole tone of being a normal employee drops to an all time low. Management portrayed the impression of being concerned but lacked – more... people skills. Componies interest was the only concern. For the most part, co-workers were dissatified with some work conditions and always worked in fear of losing their jobs. The hardest part of the job was not being appreciated and showing up for work. The most enjoyable part of the job was working alone. – less

not employee freindly coworkers are excellent daily routine stressfull

A typical day at Airgas. Waiting for our delivery truck to arrive with our work so that we could get to working right away and hoping it didn't come too late. I learned how to do some accounting such as posting payments to customers accounts. I had awesome co-workers we helped each other out when someone got behind on his/her work. The most enjoyable – more... part was month end the supervisor would buy all of us lunch so that we wouldn't have to leave and get behind on our work! – less

made around 80 to 100 calls per day
i have my certificate from the 3 c's class
management people were very nice to work for
the hardest part was when others would turn off the phones and you were the only one on and the phones where going off the hook
it was a fun place to work at

The job itselft is fine.......it's their management team, they are not professional.

They treat their people like they are stupid.If you are interested in this company,do yourself a favor and talk to the employees they will tell you how bad it is.They have so many rules it is unreal,you will work in all weather elements,and they micro manage you,they cannot be satisfied.

Really not to much to its a great company to work for. I had a really nice time and experience while I was there. The people are sometimes nice. The benefits was great.!

Our motto, Do what you can with what you got. Like anywhere else could always use more help.

Deleterious pyramidal management structure.
Customer and employees secondary to accounting and administration. Computer system runs the business.
No emphasis on employee morale or personal growth.
Oblivious.

No Advancement opportunities. Been with this company for 10 years and is stuck as a driver. No growth opportunities

Start your day by logging into Shoretell and starting you phone log, start making outbound calls to get orders, do quotes, take inbound calls, get orders, do quotes and try to make your monthly goals.
The best part of the day is dealing with customers, most are wonderful people trying to take care of their people by saving lives and getting the right – more... equipment for them to use each day. – less

I really enjoyed working for Airgas. Unfortunately the department I was in was relocated to an out of state location.

I enjoyed this company, but I was only there for a short period of time.

Everything about this company is wrong except the benefits
Skip this job in the classifieds or else you will be more miserable than you already are without a job. I never been so happy fired from a job in my life. Very weird experience!

As mananger I ran the day to day operations of my branch. I did all the reports that were required by the company, drove routes everyday, increased sales and gained new customers. I wore many hats as a branch manager. I was warehouseman, manager, driver, salesman, and many other things.

I learned that now matter how much you improved, increased profits, – more... work hard, work holidays, lose vacation time, take no sick days, work while injured, be accident free, rarely gets raises, and be a part of the company for over 15 years, you can be fired anyway. I also learned not to sign a noncompete form, because Airgas will not allow you to work for their competition. Airgas will fight the fact you signed a noncompete contract even though you did not leave on your own.

Mangement was terrible. They were more worried about how much their bonus was going to be for the year, rather than making sound business decisions. This goes all the way to the President of my division. They micromanaged every branch and worried about the little things too often. Most upper management should not be in the positions they hold. Branch managers for the most part were great. Most do not work very hard and are lazy. Come into work at 10 am and leave by 1 pm. These are the individuals who get promoted.
I really appreciated the workers I managed. They work hard and do what was needed to get the job done. Unfortunately, Airgas terminates the best employees and promotes the worst (If they promote from within).

The hardest part of the job is being short staffed. We had to work holidays (except Christmas) because of our customer base and lack of employees. Airgas bases the amount of employees by the volume you have not, volume and miles driven to service your customers. Having to work for unqualfied uppermanagement was very difficult to deal with.

The most enjoyable part of working for Airgas was taking a vacation, going home after a 15 hour day, and getting a paycheck. – less

All the people I worked with were great on a worker level. When it came to management the plant managers ran all over the higher up managers. For example, in the Tampa plant the manager comes into work at 8am or after and is out by 1pm to go drinking not good management there. Management talks to you like you are stupid. now don't get me wrong some – more... managers are awesome and would walk to the ends of the earth with them. All in all a good place to work. – less

Company does not promote from within. No positions to advance to. A good starting pay but not much in the way of raises.

Airgas was a great place to work, the employees and bosses were excellent.
I learned every aspect of AR along with cash apps, customer service,
electronic billing as well as credit analyzing.
Once you are employed at Airgas, and learn processes the experience there you can work anywhere.
