Texas Pipe and Supply

All the shipping tickets from the previous day were on my desk in the morning.  The computer system they used allowed for automatic invoicing once the order had shipped.  Exceptions to this were foreign billings and those with special instructions.  Once those issues were dealt with, I printed the invoices, mailed them and filed away our copies. I processed about 150 invoices a day. If there was time I would handle any returns.  
I learned a lot about pipe and the significance of MTR's.  I never found the management adversarial and my co-workers were friendly folks.  The most difficult part of the job was dealing with shipping corrections because they needed to be done Immediately.  The most enjoyable part of the job was the feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day.  My supervisor was easy to work for and I felt the company valued me as an employee.

Texas Pipe is a close knit group of folks. While this helps with a good laugh or not worrying about being as "professional" as other jobs, it also tends to attract the kind of people that cause echo chambers.
If you do not fit the vibe, you will not only feel left out, but also find difficulty climbing the ladder. The company is family owned and has been for over a hundred years. TP has a very hard time adapting with the times choosing to be burnt by the fires of disaster before acknowledging there's a problem.
Overall, good place to get started but I wouldn't plan to stay there for a healthy career

During my time with Texas Pipe I learned so many new and wonderful things.  I enjoyed working with different people on a daily basis and working at a quick pace.  I thrive on being busy and working hard.  Within my 10 years at Texas Pipe we had 2 managers and the manager that has been in place in the last 5 hours did not show ethical and confidential seriousness when it came to his position.  
The hardest part of my job was trying to accomodate the sales team with transportation with the financial means they provided for me.  
The most enjoyable part of my job was working with people and learning something new each day.

This employer will not pay you a fair wage. Company averages 5 mil per month and they still won't pay. Pure greed. Average pay is 12 bucks or less. You have to be hispanic and related to someone to get ahead. There is no time before or after work to take care of personal business, your working 12+ hrs five days a week and they want weekends. They did however give out a bonus... Of $150 remember I said they averge 5 mil. Its a revolving door here and theres always someone new to train. Overall bad management from the very top down to individual supervisors. No training at all here so your own your own as far as learning.p

If you aren’t in sales your work will not be appreciated, upper management expects the world out of you without fair compensation or understanding of the job you do. They treat their sales people well ( they’re just glorified phone operators who don’t actively reach out to customers to make sales) but they treat their warehouse employees who actually have to do all the work like trash. Avoid unless you like being under paid and over worked.

Busy busy busy,always something different

I learned and gained learned a lot from this distribution company.
A typical day at work would be to drink your coffee and get your equipment ready and go about your day.
As for co-workers, some are very understanding while others are very judgmental, but then again that's just part of the work environment.
Well the most enjoyable part of the day would be lunch, who would argue with that one .

We started off painting in the morning.
How to not let people get in your ear not even supervisor.
Keep working hard and push yourself as much as you can take no breaks.
It was only seven co-workers and we all got along.
Standing on the ladder to get something off the top shelve.
Getting off work and getting that paint off me.

Not the best place to work at a lot of favoritism a lot of family members that move up their own family members the pay raises suck. Supervisors and managers mystery their employees.
