Pros

Sad to say... there really aren't any. You work hard... and you get nowhere. There are NO opportunities to grow with this Company.

Cons

Just about anything you can think of. Poor Service High Prices Terrible Upper Management Company run by the 4 Brothers Does anyone know who the Company President is?? Local Management are nice people, but don't have power to get anything done. Threats and demands to deliver results This Company is the BUTT of the JOKE in the Propane Industry. Always have been.... and it looks as if it will stay this way until they get rid of Upper Management and fill the roles with people who know what their doing and care about the Business, the Company, the EMPLOYEES and the CUSTOMERS You can't always be successful when your only concern is trying to "Squeeze Every Dime Out Of Every Nickel".

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!

Pros

Truly enjoy most of the people I work with - if not for them would of been gone long ago.

Cons

No raises - close facilities bring in additional work. IMPOSSIBLE to do your job. Customers lose out - real shame sad to see what has been done.
