Royal Oak, MI

Current Employee – been working at Airgas full-time for more than 7 years

Prossignificant resources and longevity in the market; extensive knowledge base and experts to call in for help. Most people have a team mentality.

ConsBureaucracy, inablity to blend acquisitions, uper management too far removed from the daily environment. Communication is atrocious. transparency needs work, mistakes that look like greed engender mistrust in the employees.

Advice to Senior Managementwork on forecasting the impact of decisions. The local feel has been lost. Talent is leaving quickly and the company will suffer for it.

Cheyenne, WY

Former Employee – worked at Airgas full-time for more than 3 years

ProsPay & health insurance was good

ConsPoor management at this loacation. we went from 40 hrs a week to 32 and was told if we dont like it we could quit and they would find someone else to do the job.Problems with equipment often over looked and ignored making for a bad day. Acting plant manager doesn't have a clue how to run a plant... No clue to what the senior management was thinking when they put Bart in charge

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Duluth, GA

Former Employee – worked at Airgas full-time for more than 7 years

Prosgood contests, good pay at upper level sales and the benefits are decent if you go single hmo. Lot of training on product.

ConsOld outdated rating system for performance. Top of the heap one day and fired the next. VP of this location is is standoff and unapproachable. Out of touch with what all the changes have done to accomplishing goals.

Advice to Senior ManagementRevise performance requirements to match the current computer system and all the downfalls that has brought with it. Cancel plans for total access and go back to what made you top of the competition

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Airgas full-time for more than 10 years

ProsDecent pay, lots of work

ConsUnrealistic growth expectations from management

Advice to Senior ManagementTry to be realistic to market growth expectations.12-18% growth is not realistic. To continually beat up the sales deparment because Radnor is trying to satisfy Wall Street is not good for morale.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
