Pros

insurance continual paycheck vision plan dental plan

Cons

Was lied to not even there 2 months I addressed it VP lied to from management hiding things truck driver trainer said he was lied to twice by branch mgr. he travels multiple stores. Workers in fill plant told me a lot was lied to. Munipuate customers in your territory to give to younger salesman. Talk down to you n various employees holler like a idiot to me n others n it all filters down to customers. Lost a lot of customers n will lose more. One of best branch mgrs said we are dumb we tell upper mgt and they don't listen. N they don't. It is ashamed to see them going south. Truck driver said employee should try to sue branch mgr way he was talked to. They said he would work off the clock trying to get job done. Cut back employees hardly not enough to do work. Hav bad reputation among customers. Loads of turnover. Poor pitiful place. One of the worst. Laid off long termers. Closed store. You can find better place to work. Give notice to retire 6 months down road 2 days later bring you severance package. Unfair.

Skilled workers beware

Pros

None at this time. They're probably OK for someone starting out or working the retail counter, but if you're a skilled worker/tradesman looking for a good career, run away! Pretty much anything else is better.

Cons

Beware if you are a skilled worker considering a position at an AirGas legacy Air Liquide site. Air Liquide bought AirGas and dumped over a thousand AL employees into AirGas. Morale at these AL sites is absolutely terrible, beyond bad. We've had our benefits slashed to the bone, lost long time, excellent colleagues, and are now just waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's obvious now that AirGas plans to get rid of as many of us as they can because the average AL employee makes a lot more than the average AG worker. Some sites are downright dangerous because the new hires don't even know basic safety rules. Contempt and loathing towards upper AirGas management is the rule, even among lower and middle management, as all they do is spin, lie, and treat us like children. There is talk of unionizing. There is a palpable atmosphere of fear, resentment, and loathing towards AirGas, and betrayal towards Air Liquide. I'm not exaggerating. These are widespread toxic feelings at every site, even affecting new hires who don't know how much better Air Liquide was.
