Interviewed Feb 2012 in Independence, OH (took 2 weeks)
They made you take an online assessment test (can't remember all of the different test), but mostly consisted of a personality test and a math type of test. I thin they wanted to assess how intelligent you are. So about 2 or 3 weeks after I applied, I got a phone call from the HR coordinator. She wanted to set-up and interview. About 1 week later, I came in for the interview. I talked to someone in HR, Finance, and the VP. I pretty much knew what to expect about the position (I knew that it would be challenging for my skill level), but I was still interested. The facility looked nice, but the Independence traffice is a nightmare. So I sent my thank you email to all 3 about a few days later. 1 week after that I emailed HR to find out what the status of the interview process was. No response. 1 more week I emailed again. No response. Then I emailed the Finance (hiring manager). No response. Needless to say, I wasn't offered the position but this process put a bad taste in my mouth about the company and the hiring process. If you're not going to offer the position, at least have the descency to provide feedback or reponse back via email or phone. I won't be applying with this company anymore.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 3 months)
I had 2-3 phone interviews and 5 live interviews plus a 6 hour skills/personality assessment test. I thought I was interviewing for the CEO's job or something. They drag out this process and tell you that they don't really care how long it takes as long as they find the "right person" whatever that is. I have no problem getting rejected for a job, but when I've spent over 30 hours of my time to land the position and then the company doesn't even have the decency to give you a personal phone call, something is just wrong.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Whittier, CA (took a day)
If you enjoy cold calling, then this job may be for you. You do not start off taking any inbound calls at all, and have to build your own customer base, which I was told that not even employees working there for 2 years had not managed yet. The duties for a new hire consist of meeting your daily goals including a minimum of 70 outbound calls and 215 minutes required phone time. They update you 3 - 4 times during day to advise you of your progress. You must meet all daily goals plus monthly goals to receive end of year bonus.
The face to face interview process was 2-1/2 hours long and I met with 4 different Airgas managers who seemed to be asking the exact same questions over and over again with perhaps a little rephrasing here or there.
I was requested back for a second interview, however was unable to make the date and time that they had specified, so I requested a reschedule, but received no reply.
If I had received an offer for employment, I would have turned it down.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
Basically what they do is they have to have three people interview you now. If you are the one picked they send notice to HR it write up an offer of employment for you. You come back in and sign all the first step process paperwork and then go take a drug and physical. Then you are in limbo because I have seen it take up to three weeks something to get all the results back. The clinic they use is not very good and nine out of ten times will lose some of the paperwork. You would think for as big a company they are they could outsource their background check to a company which can turn it around faster too. That sometimes can tale a long time too. Oh and if you have a felony don't even bother with this company. They don't like to hire people with a felony on record. Also they don't like to hire females to do driving work.

Negotiation Details
There is no negotiate with Airgas. You either take what they offer you are they will find someone else. They don't take any of your past experience into consideration. Driver pay is extremely low at the branch I was at.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Whittier, CA (took 2 days)
6 HOURS! Looked like a good company from the market perspective so I sent them my resume. a couple days later the recruiter/sales manager called to phone interview and scheadule a site interview. So far so good. I got there exactly on time and waited 45M for the Sales Manager / Recruiter to see me. After 45M an assistant came out and apologized for the delay and took me to a little 'test room'. She explained that I would be doing math, written and typing tests for the next hour and 1/2. I politely asked why I was left waiting 45M if I could of started this when I first got there. She snickered and said we have other candidates.
The tests were elementary school level e.g. "You have 100 pencils, they cost .15c each your customer wants to buy 1000 at a .2c discount what is the total order cost." I thought you’re kidding me and politely asked is this really necessary. She said yes and I sheepishly looked at her saying but it’s like 4th grade level. At this point I wanted to get up and leave but genuinely wanted to speak to a real person and learn about the company. After apx 1hr I was taken to the first round of interviews.
My interview took place in what I can only describe as a Broom Closet. It was windowless and filled with old boxes and assorted other crap. The first person to interview me was not the person I spoke with on the phone. She gave me her name but did not explain her position I assumed she was another assistant. The interview questions were easy but good in rapid fire order. After about 45m of questions she asked me if I had any questions. “What is your position here?” I asked and at that point she gave me an embarrassed smile and apologized for not letting me know she was the Training Manager and would be my direct supervisor if I took the job. I asked when would I meet the person I spoke with on the phone and she responded you won’t be meeting her today we are busy with ‘other candidates’ I was getting the feeling this was a round robin of at least 5 other potential employees. She said I will send in the next interviewer and was gone.
The second person was VERY nice and helpful and at this point I had been there 3 hours but I wasn’t upset mostly amused an curious. The second person was a senior manager with a veteran team and had a true dialog with me about the job I felt relived there was someone with a brain in the office and thought I want to work for you if I take this job. That interview lasted for another 45M
Finally the Sales Manager / Recruiter I spoke with on the phone came in but it was only to introduce herself and see how things were going. I liked her and finally felt like I had a friend somewhere rooting for me. She disappeared and sent in the VP of sales.
The VP of sales also apologized for me being there so long and all the delays. She seemed competent but at this point I just wanted to get out of there I was thinking I have to pick up my kids in an hour. We had another normal dialogue for about 30-45m and asked if I had any questions. At this point I knew basically everything there was to know about the job and no one had discussed salary or compensation except in a general way. “ You are paid a base + a bonus” I found out the absolute maximum is $45k and I said that’s my absolute minimum and wanted the chance to make up to double that. She said no way it doesn’t happen and I said but this is a sales job it doesn’t matter how much effort or how hard I work? She snidely replied NO and I got the feeling maybe she didn’t even make that much.
A week later I got a ‘rejection’ letter which I simply circular filed.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process consisted of meeting with 5 different people. Each person painted a positive picture of the company. However, I feel they hid the negative parts of the job. Everything about the interview process was positive and they avoided anything that would have displayed negativity of the company or the job.

Regular one on one and then a panel interview, precise questions, no waste of time. Sometimes people give long speaches about the company that sound fake... not in this case. Very Objective and to the point. Good experience.
When you go to an interview regardless if you get the job or not you have to learn something.
