Piping Technology & Products

When I started working at Piping Tech in Houston TX I started off as a Material Expeditor. In few short months they fired one of there Production Schedulers and moved me up to his position as the new Production Scheduler. I learned the position fast and I even solved most of the major problems the company was having. I was great at my job and before you know it I was training people who have been there for 5+ years. I loved what I was doing and I knew I was making a difference in that company but the only problem was that when they bumped me up to Scheduler they never had the integrity to give me the raise for that position. They kept me at the same pay for Expeditor which is a lower position with less responsibilities. Also at the time I was going to school full time at nights while working Monday- Saturday 55-60 hours a week. With school and the commute back and forth from my place to downtown Houston it was a lot for me to handle. I asked for a reasonable raise and they told me no that I don't need a raise. Sadly I decided to leave the company to focus on my education so that I know that with my degree there is nothing that can stop me from moving up in a company and progress with my career path.

I began as an inside sales/quotations specialist and grew within the company quickly. Management was very receptive to innovative ideas and allowed for my movement into middle management within only 2 years. I was able to focus my strengths of contract review by taking on the position that did not previously exist by leading our contracts department. By the time I parted ways with the company, I had been teaching coursework in contract review to leaders in other departments and managing my own work with minimal oversight. I really enjoyed my time with Piping Technology & Products and would recommend this company to others seeking the opportunity to develop their professional careers in the petrochemical industry.

management is terrible (Bala),they have people in supervisor roles that cannot even read. Pay is degrading, one employee has been there for 12 years and still making $7.50 an hour. Advancement is a joke they lie to you to get you in the door, but never give you the training nor support to be effective.The inventory supervisor is one of the dumbest ever, not knowing what MTRs, NCR and logistics mean these are basic warehouse/inventory terms REALLY! No structure, No plan, No future! I know this day and time people need a pay check but if you can PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY! If you want lies, low degrading pay, and leadership that cannot read the company's weekly safety talk this is for you!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Weekly check and an opportunity to work overtime if management likes you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not a good place to work in management coming from an outside company especially if you're an African American.  They will not train you.  And they will make the simplest task the most difficult. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very unfriendly dictatorship.  They will never pay their employees what they deserve. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everything is based on a push system with out any accountability in place.  A lot of us versus them if you're not Indian or hispanic.

Dont go to this place ever i f you want to start a life dont look in here. Everybody who works in the offices think they are so uptight and wealthy when they are living basically check to check. The owner and his son horrible people stuck in thier own world. The VP is pretty much the same. Management sucks. I got fired for having a payed day off. No raises unless you tell the boss everything on a daily which is basically how you move up and get a .50c raise. Bright side to all pf this is the welders, mayerial handlers, etc etc are great people to meet alot of cons and probees but people are great.

At this location I work with drills,,as a woman, I learned how to tag,, I learned how to read measurements.. How to read the pressure through a pipes, things that I ain't ever think in my life that I can ever do,,I learned there and I appreciate that. Just couldn't handle working around a lot of men..Also speaking I matured up into working "temp" in there office for the company even though I was just there temporary I love what I was doing. I was data filing, working with postal mailing , stamped packages also installing shipment inside of computers  information that needed and etc

Good place to learn and have a better feel for what the manufacturing business is like. Once you learn as much as you can, you take that experience else where to get compensated for what you know.  Piping Technology does not pay no where near national average for any of their positions. Owner still has mind set like he's still in India, paying low wages at little to none. Management has no idea how to run company in every department, and still till this day are trying to figure out how to do so.  

If you are an experienced worker, this is not the place to come and make a career out of. You will have better oppurtunities at other companies with better pay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
No best part,  welder has  to do a lot of grinding. There's no cold water during the heat ,people have passed out because of heat. And their is NO holiday pay for the first 2 yrs. The conditions are inhumane in their, do not recommend it to anyone.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You do a lots of grinding No holiday pay, No cold water during the heat.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very bad work environment. Supervisors  are very abusive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
They make you work without any safety consideration.

This company is a terrible place to work. It's a good place to learn different skills but as far as an experienced worker, this place is a joke. The pay is insulting. You will basically be living paycheck to paycheck. The people in charge don't know how to run the shop. They probably treat their dogs better than they treat the workers. There are people in charge that make double what I'm making and yet, they don't know half of what I know about this industry. As far as raises, most likely you won't get one. The only good thing about this company are the coworkers. Most of them are genuinely good people. Avoid this company if possible!!

Worked as a contractor for Enterprise Products, through Piping Technology.
 Learned quite a bit about pipelines and how important it is to contact 811, before doing any type of digging. There are many deadly situations that can be avoided by calling in before digging.
 Management is awesome, they work with you
 Worked alone most of the time, that is due to the nature of work. Worked more with the Enterprise Employees
  The hardest part of the job is the traveling and unsure where you will be next.
  The hours and pay, as well as the friends that you make along the way, is what I liked most about working with this company
