I will warn every one now unless you like to be watched over and have the production manager and his assistant sneak around and watch every move you make and then not have the balls to come tell you face to face, this is the place. The shift supervisors and the operators run around so scared and intimidated by the production manager. The technology they use is so out of date and no money is put back in the site. The pay is below average for a company that makes the amount of money they do and the Piedmont site is run like a cotton mill and God forbid you're over 30 minutes or 15 minutes on break because you will be scolded. The operators that have been here for a while don't really want to train you or show you things, it's more of I'll do it myself attitude and management has no faith or trust in any of the operators. You work with tons of solvents but there is hardly any ventilation at all and/or air circulation, so you're constantly breathing them. The Piedmont site needs major upgrades to its equipment and technology and it needs to over haul it's management and get more in tune with the times and the 8 hour swing shifts are horrible but if they would pay better and get management under control it wouldn't be a bad place to work.

This company really cares about your career.  They want each employee to be successful no matter the department, whether it be operations or top management.  The key to success is very simple there; do a good job and respect the chain of command.  Ortec upper managment really values their guiding princples and expects their employees to make them a part of the culture.  The job stability is amazing there, as in, if you do a good job you will be taken care of.  It is nice to work for a privately held company and not worry about layoffs or meeting quarterly metrics set forth by a board of directors.  It is a family owned business and is run as such.  Everyone, specifically at the Piedmont facility, is family.  It is a great environment to work and many of the employees have strong personal relationships outside of work as well.  Not enough good things can be said about this company and the way they take care of their employees.

Ortec is a GREAT place to start your career in the manufacturing world.  The hours can be brutal depending on level of expertise and willingness to go above and beyond what is required.  Opportunities for growth if you truly do the work that is required and some.  Management truly has the employee's interest at heart but are still trying to run a business so not everyone is happy all the time.  GREAT place to learn about product development and product life cycle.  Contract manufacturing presents unique challenges but allows you to take that experience to different companies and be successfully.  I loved working there and would recommend to anyone starting out.

When I started, I loved it. There was promises of growth and a healthy work environment. The longer I stayed the more things that were promised were put off or just taken off the table completely in the form of you (and your 15 other coworks) misunderstood me. People who were repeatedly told they were not doing their job were rewarded with raises and promotions while those who were being praised for their advances and hard work were denied promotions and raises. Management is a mess as well which just makes things worse. Would not recommend working there for very long. Good to get some experience under your belt but I wouldn't stick around long  

Swing shift with good amount of days off and Fair pay for the work required, but walking in the door you make close to what operators that have been there 3-5 years are making.They preach advancement within the company,honesty and hard work will take you far but those are just words,especially when you raise new hire pay but not everyone else’s pay.The morale in this company is dead,although the work isn’t very tough and the pay is fair but hours are long.They need to put more value and appreciation into current employees.

Management really works with you if you have issues outside of work, and supports your individual and career growth at all opportunities. Really, so long as you work hard, and admit fault if you’ve made a mistake, Ortec will do its utmost to ensure you can continue to work for them. Frequent parties/events/recognition for employees and Ortec has a significant emphasis on safety in all processes and at all times. 

It's an overall ok place to work.just poor training and management. People that's been there awhile only show you very little. Its a ok place to work of you dont want to advance.

I was in Maintenance and the pay was fair. The job load and requirements are way to overbearing. Management lacks coordination and ability to listen to veteran employees on ideas that would greatly improve the end result of production. PRODUCTION is always the topic of discussion. The plant grew fast but Maintenance was left behind. Direct words from a past "engineer" 


                "Man, I don'h kno. Maintenance is tha red headed step chillren of all plants" - a.n.


   Meerkat out.

I love working here good pay and benefits I love the hours but rotating shift isn't for everyone. Everyone here is really nice and willing to help and train you I hear some trash talk from some employees about working here but nobody is holding a gun to there head making them stay so guess it's not that bad you hear that anywhere you work. As of now the only way I would leave is for atleast 5 more dollars an hour and  knowing I would have job security 

Gained so much knowledge, and met some amazing people in my career there.
Always informative about companies direction
Always provided quarterly safety training and communication training.
Job availability and advancement information was always available
Strived for continuous improvement
