Indianapolis, IN (US)

Former Employee – worked at Praxair full-time for more than 10 years

ProsA wide variety of people to work with. Plenty of O.T. if you want.

ConsNot competitive in wages. Job insecurity due to huge turn overs and lay offs. More and more reduction in benefits yearly.

Advice to Senior ManagementThere is a breaking point to all changes that are made and you have exceeded that point.. Accountants run the Company based on numbers and make adjustments according to those numbers without looking at how it is going affect your company long term as well as your customers..

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
