Pros

The pay is decent and benefits are good. As a former USAF mechanic this was my first civilian job. There are a lot of long term employees and that's a good indicator of a decent employer. Now that the economy has turned a little sour there have been cut backs not quite as many freebies and perks like paid office parties or as frequent paid lunches. But the generally the morale is good.

Cons

In the current economy there's some talk about whether our plant will be here. With other plants nearby that "produce product" our distribution point could be closed. That is not a happy feeling.

Pros

I learned a lot from the teams I worked with over my tenure. If I was particularly interested in learning about certain parts of the business, I was often allowed to tackle those challenges. Mentors were very helpful and encouraging. I enjoyed the people I worked with and they always tried to open doors into other parts of the company I was interested in.

Cons

If you want to be doing mostly pure mechanical design work, there is less of that available at Air Products. Lots of opportunities for operations, project management, and EPC roles for mechanical engineers, and pressure vessel work from my perspective. In the initial round of placements, you get matched to one team (you can join or not) — it was not exactly my cup of tea from a day to day work perspective. Second round, I was able to join a team where I absolutely loved doing the day to day work.
