Good Folks - Recensione dipendente - Sales Representative presso DiCorp

I started with Di-corp in 2013, I was hired as a control room operator for the Sand Transload division. My Job consisted of Loading trucks and dealing with customers. Within a couple of years of hard work, I was promoted to Terminal supervisor. Where I am responsible for all the in-house training from Control systems for loading/unloading trucks and railcars, and operating rail car movers and locomotives. In the 9 years I have been with the company I have seen some amazing things, I have seen a company that cares about its people, and sticks with them in tough times, when other companies might have gone other routes to stay profitable during the recessions. Di-Corp kept everyone whole and working through these tough times, knowing the value of the people in the company. When times are good, and profits are up, they share that with the company across the board, making sure everyone knows that they are appreciated for all their hard work. Its hard to find a company like this, that cares about their employees as much as they do, and it shows with people that have been with the company 10, 15, 25+ years. In short, the time I have been with the company has been great and I look forward to many more years to come!

Depending on what department your working in, It may be hard to move up the ladder as people love the job and Stick around.

Context - this is company, where the shares are largely owned by one person. The Owner/President really does mean well and does have everyone's care in his mind. He's ambitious, has plans for growth and the downturn in the oil market has meant he's become more disciplined and structured. The company (as of 2016) is still struggling to find it's true niche and central purpose; and that impacts on direction and how priorities are determined. The Executive and Director team are very able, conscientious, and are working better together. It is a great place to work; people care and treat each other with respect and honesty.

The downturn in oil (2014 onwards) meant that some hard financial decisions had to be made, with some layoffs, reduced wages, and greater cash discipline. Unfortunately, it felt that the organization was more being led by Finance, than by the customer. This set up tension within the company, harmed morale, added unnecessary stress, and fuelled the rumor mill.
