Pros

The company benefits plan is amazing. They contribute to your 401K, They PAY for short term disability, and if you work at their corporate HQ, most of the people there are wonderful colleagues

Cons

Some departments are run poorly. There are departments with too many middle managers and not enough cohesion with other parts of the company. The IT department is very fragmented and at times, the departments seem to be intentionally warring with each other.

Pros

Decent healthcare benefits, nothing more

Cons

Sales Reps are paid $19,200.00/yr + commission. Commission is very low, $.05/gal max for liquid fuels sales. This company has many management/operational issues that just don't seem to get fixed. Sales Reps don't have access to sales commission reports, have to fight with CSC Manager to get anything done! This is by far the worst company I've ever worked for. This company does not appreciate or know how to manage a sales force.

Pros

Honestly can't think of a single positive thing about working for this company!

Cons

Slavedrivers! I worked for this awful company for 1 year after previous company was bought by Suburban. after being in the Customer Service industry for over 30 years, this company made me want to leave the industry forever! Micromanaged with no hope of ever being promoted, compensation was laughable and their training programs, which were designed to help grow you in your field was better suited for non-thinking, non-feeling robots! Do Not drink the Kool-Aid here, they will suck the life out of you!! would not recommend dealing with this company in any capacity! All of our Managers(8) quit OR WERE LAID OFF within 2 months of this acquisition, so they loaded all of their work onto the CSR's. Well played Suburban, well played!
