Charlotte Pipe and Foundry

I started at Charlotte pipe as a temp which I was told was unusual for full time employees. I was only brought on full time after a glowing reference by a long time employee. The job wasn’t bad at first; 2-2-3 swing schedule, great pay, decent benefits. But once you get familiar with the employees the drama starts. I entered into a relationship with a coworker (which there isn’t any rules prohibiting) and after that came all the problems. When at work me and my partner were nothing more than coworkers, you would have to know us personally to know we were in a relationship. We were told our relationship was a distraction to our fellow employees several times with no reason as to how, despite production being the highest it’s been in company history, with both me and my partner excelling in our roles. Eventually I was told that I had to switch shifts or be terminated because of the relationship; meanwhile on another shift there were two employees that were each in marriages, that had an affair and eventually got married themselves and still work together. After explaining why the shift change would interfere with my ability to see my child, I was told I had a month to “figure it out”. To this day I have audio from my meetings with Human Resources saved  on my phone. 
Summary: If you know someone that works for this company and they can get you a job, take it. But be weary of mismanagement, drama with coworkers (whether you choose to engage in it or not) and mandatory overtime.

With great pay and fair benefits, that would sum up the pros of working for this company. The facility itself is not being maintained and kept in a reasonable functioning workplace. The prideful name of charlotte pipe plastics ends with the ink on the box. Employees are working with molding machinery, roller systems, automatic robots , packaging machines that are being maintained with zip ties, duct tape, electric tape and little effort. The majority of this facility's pay is based on the weight of product In and out the door. While working with equipment at this level it is a constant battle of making it work and putting in work orders that sit for months and months. This place once held its name highly and when I started, I was proud to say where I worked. It is now a typical corporation with only a profit to make.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It is a home town family business and the owners really do care about their employees. Awesome place to work.. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Outages and some deadlines, other than that everyone works together and was pretty much stress free

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Perfect, company listens to all employees, and works to improve and enhance the harmony. Even the managers are honest have your back.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Review tickets, check inventory, team meeting, update from day before, service level agreement updates, update manual if need be and review upcoming technology.

Great place to work with great people. Would recommend this place to anyone. The pay is great and it does include good benefits as well. The owners of the company seem to genuinely care about the moral of employees and do their best to correct issues brought to their attention. Work is fairly easy, can get to be a little hectic on the pipeline but nothing unmanageable. Generally has a laid back atmosphere. Schedule is 2-2-3, which is the best schedule if you have to work 12hr shifts. Overtime is usually available if desired, but is always optional (except maintenance positions). 

My duties involve making pipe that is within NSF specifications. This includes making adjustment to machines, pipe , water and air pressure to accomplish this goal. Having so many different components to look at in order to make good pipe, you learn critical thinking skills, as you have to think outside the box in order to make good pipe. The hardest part of the job is that it is physically demanding and the shifts are 12 hours long. The most enjoyable part of the job is that the co-workers help each other out to reach the same common goal, make pipe.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great group of coworkers willing to do anything to help out. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress. Gets a little crazy when the machines start alarming all at once. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great environment to work in. Everyone cares about their job and strive to work safely and look out for each other.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical 12 hour shift. We make sure every machine is running properly and producing good quality parts.

I traveled 5,000 miles a month as their sales rep and was then asked to become a regional sales manager. Later I was promoted to sales manager.

Always fun and never a dull moment

I learned relationships and being a good listener are must requirements,

Management comes with experience and knowing requirements of the job you are to manage.

The work culture is fantastic

Adapting to SAP soft ware, once you mastered there is none better.

Charlotte Pipe is family and that makes working in a great environment fun.

Great pay and good schedule. If your money hungry then this is the place for you, you can basically get all the OT you want. Understaffed, poor management, no guaranteed breaks/lunches and no real training program. Their idea of training is having you shadow people, which typically might work, but there's only about 2 people there that care enough to explain/teach you anything. Once your running your own lines, breaks/lunches go out the window. Management says they care but their actions say different.

Former employee I worked there 21 years and would go back to work today. The job was hard the pay was great and the people that work there are awesome. Management rarely worked with you as a whole. But job security was always present and the company as a whole was great to work for. Do your job and you are not bothered. I learned a lot there and they do not mind training you for anything. The people are the best and what I miss the most. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working making a good progress communicating a very legit job

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing  is streetful about this job do work and go home 



What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good experience with the company 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Okay I can't complain it's a job I have to do and get it out the way
