Pros

It was a small office so I worked independently. The people were great to work with. I was very close to my customers also. They helped me with my education and the benefits were good. All in all it was a positive experience.

Cons

Learning the propane business was a bit of a challenge. Also trying to make budget each month. Our office was not very nice at all but the atmosphere made up for it.

Pros

High pay relative to industry. Modern equipment an technology. Good benefits package

Cons

Ruthless industry, high pressure on management. Understaffed for peak season resulting in overwork and morale issues. Bonus only achievable if weather cooperates. No vacation time during winter season. Company frequently acquires local competitors and modifies operational footprint. Frequent layoffs of personnel, including management.

Pros

Good pay and great benefits. That's Where It ends.

Cons

Too many incompetent bosses. From the office managers to the district manager. Nothing to work for but a check. They will run you into the ground and smile while they're doing it. Guys are quitting left and right and they still can't figure out why. That says it all. What works on paper, doesn't always work in the field. They're still figuring that part out.
