5. A few things I learned from this informational interview include:

· When I asked if there was any major difference in the company’s workforce he believed that it was “diffidently getting younger“- he stated that there was a sharp increase in employees that are under the age of 35. He did not provide me with exact statistics but estimated that workers under the age of 35 make up about 40% of the current work force.

· Working for this company is very time intensive. He started that time requirement is not just 8-5, it is until the work is done, which depending on the day can take many more hours. He also stated that although the compensation is great the job can get very exhausting and stressful.

· When I asked about their advertising method-he said that they seldom advertise- they take a PR stance- because the company sells natural resource, they are not really trying to build a consumer base but advertise the merits of using natural gas as energy source. Mr. Griffith strongly believed ,and claimed, that we need to decrease out dependence on foreign oil and start exploiting natural American resources. By doing so, he believed that, we can avoid the detrimental effects of oil.
