What Our Team Says …

Kate Melody
Customer Service

I’ve had quite few jobs growing up, and once I was hired here, I knew I’d found the right job. It’s not a big corporation, just a big family.

Mario Goduco
Business Development, Technical Sales

The main reason I have enjoyed working at Fiber Optic Center for the last two decades is that I share the company philosophy that the customer is the number one priority for all aspects of our business relationships. This strong relationship and bond is the foundation of our customer loyalty and business even when customers move, in their careers, to other companies.

Marcel Buijs
EMEA Business Development, Technical Sales

Being appreciated for the work that I am doing and the great level of responsibility, ownership and freedom to excel gives a warm feeling that is hard to explain. The opportunity to that while seeing many parts of the world is certainly a special experience.

Zane Fitzgerald
Account Manager

Working at a place where my manager/ownership is considerate of my time off and supportive of the needs of my family makes me feel appreciated. Work/Family balance is so important and FOCs allowance of my life as it is makes me want this to be my last job and work twice as hard for a company I believe in.

Kathleen Skelton
Director of Strategic Marketing

My dream job would be state of the art tools, perpetual development, company investment in my knowledge, inclusion on an expert team, corporate integrity, stellar leadership by example, passionate co-workers, work/life balance….. actually, that is my job at Fiber Optic Center, Inc. I am blessed and appreciative always.

Michael Thorpe

FOC is family owned and operated, which provides a unique (and pleasant!) work environment. It is a company with strong values and goals that I am proud to be a part of. We are in great location in downtown New Bedford by the ocean. We have a tightening group who will go above and beyond to help their coworker and ultimately better service the customer.

Ethan Weiss
Account Manager

Fiber Optic Center puts employees health and safety first and never wavered on this throughout the Covid Pandemic. Although Fiber Optic Center is a FUN place with a great community, the work comes first. We do not get bogged down with a million meetings, company team building retreats and other typical corporate whathaveyou. Work and get paid for it. Employees like that.

Kelly Barker
Business Development, Epoxies, Technical Sales

It’s hard to say what I love most about working at Fiber Optic Center. Besides having the opportunity to work closely with the most brilliant and down to earth customers, I do love that I feel a sense of belonging; I am recognized, respected and appreciated. I’m granted the freedom, flexibility and resources to be creative, hone in on my skillset and obtain positive solutions and outcomes. I am also surrounded by like-minded, hard workers I also call my friends, and that keeps me happy!

Chris Rollinson
Business Development, Test, Technical Sales

In 47 years of employment, Fiber Optic Center is the best company I have ever worked for. It's just about the right size; big enough to keep enough product in stock and invest in the right tools, but not so big as to become too unwieldy. The company is agile and owned by people who actually work there.

Giorgio Bonvini
EMEA Business Development, Technical Sales

The environment at FOC is to me is very unique. It feels like family. The invites to colleagues and partner’s houses, playing basketball with the guys after work or meeting each other in different places over the world at exhibitions, customers, suppliers. Although distances are physically great, it feels seamless like you are working next door.

Sharron Tetrault
Operations & Customer Service Support

Working at Fiber Optic Center has been a great experience from the historic building with gorgeous harbor views, the going green and solar initiatives, community events we sponsor to the people who are supportive and kind humans.

Richard Mack

For me, starting to work for FOC was a little like going back to school. There’s so much for me to learn in diverse areas – materials science, networking technology, manufacturing techniques, specialty fibers, etc. Speaking with FOC’s technical staff is like having tutorial sessions with the best professors. They have vast experience and one can learn a lot.

Sydney Medeiros
Customer Service

Fiber Optic Center (FOC) is a unique company to work for in the sense that although we are one of the top distributors in the Fiber Optic world, we maintain small business values. I feel blessed to work for a company that values their employees and much as they do their customers. As a company FOC is also quick to evolve. Whether that be in response to a global pandemic, customer and employee needs, or unforeseen changes in the industry.
