Great work enviroment and fantastic co-worker's Both front office and the other technician's.
SENIOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN (Former Employee), Waltham, MA –
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

Plant Manager (Former Employee), CA –
Pros: good benefits that start within 30 days, decent coverage, 401 plan, was a fun place
Cons: management has self serving itineraries
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.

Collector (Former Employee), Beaumont, Tx –
Pros: healthcare benefits were good
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
