Not enough time was spent working there due to the Apria Acquisition.

A typical day consisted of load my van with supplies, different size portable o2 tanks needed for the day and filling the bulk liquid oxygen tank. Each driver/technician averaged 15 to 20 stops per day plus add-ons. I learned how to repair and troubleshoot oxygen and respiratory equiptment although some were just exchanged and returned under warranty. – more...  The best part of this job was working independently and working with client's to make them comfortable with equiptment in their home. It could also be the most difficult. We delivered mostly to the same people on a regular basis and did the pickup of the equiptment when the client passed.
My co-workers were great we joked around with each other, helped one another load each others equiptment when needed.
Management was tuff but fair, easy to approach with issues and help solve them. – less

Praxair was a very great place to work at. Very good compenstation and great benefits.

I have worked with many of their branch locations and they have a good company.Most employees are happy to work for them.

20 years ago the organization held the employee in high regard. The greatest"asset" they touted. Today? The "Stock Holder" is the greatest asset. This organization has no loyalty to the employee any longer.

Excellent company to work for. Advanced up through the ranks to manager. On-call 24/7. Was an excempt annual salaried employee.

Negative work environment atmosphere where employees unable to perform their roles

It's a fortune 500 company which specializes in Industrial gas and hardgoods. It's fun and challenging to work at this company.

Praxair is an excellant place to work with opportunities for career advancement.

This was a big corporation that slowly sold off the DME portion of the company. It mainly focused on the oxygen side of healthcare and with the recent changes in the Medicare guidelines regarding oxygen the company wasn't making a profit. With not making a profit the company was sold to Apria in April 2011. I was in turn laid off after the collections – more...  were completed in June 2011. – less

upon hiring My VP quit, my market manager quit, and my branch manger quit. My Director of Sales, was a complete ego maniac. and was clueless on to what the job was to entail. I was given two months to turn a market around that was destroyed by them in the first place, it is amazing that Apria Bought them out, I would have assumed that they would have – more...  to pay someone for buying them...
