      Pros

      Best in industry training, hands down. The pay and benefits are solid, the staff at the field level are consistently good quality people, ie technicians, drivers reps etc.

      Cons

      This is a company that is in the process of redefining themselves from their roots as a collection of small locally operated mom and pop propane dealers into a centrally managed corporation. The problem is they have no idea how to accomplish that. As a result, management at the regional level is solely focused on hitting bonus targets for profit margin and have driven the prices up to laughably uncompetitive levels. As customers flock to the doors, the prices get higher -rinse and repeat. A manager at Suburban is responsible for everything from taking customer complaints to delivering fuel to sales calls to repairing dispensers along with everything in between. The general attitude of the employees is terrible because they have watched the business deteriorate over the years. I would not recommend this as a place to work for anyone except for those looking for some good quality paid training.
