What Our Team Says …
Kate Melody
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
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
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
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
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.
Ethan Weiss
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
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
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
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
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.

When I joined Fiber Optic center it felt like joining a family not a business. Fiber Optic Center management is very empathetic, concerned, and caring about their employees safety and happiness above all.
Fiber Optic Center is an exceptional distributor, like I have not seen in my 38 year career prior to FOC. FOC is a technical service organization with highly skilled engineers who have extensive industry experience. We are able to quickly trouble shoot and solve customer issues.

I really enjoy working at Fiber Optic Center. I’m given the tools I need to do my job, and also given the opportunity to attend marketing conferences throughout the year to grow my professional skills. The Fiber Optic Center team is respectful, appreciative and positive – they make it easy to love working here!
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.
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.
Jason Sousa
I love working at Fiber Optic Center because FOC is focused on an improved culture for employees intended on benefitting us in and outside of the work place. It’s a great opportunity to be part of a growing company where collaboration is valued. I also love the people I work with on a daily basis. I’ve never worked in a company where I adore my colleagues and love working with them to this level.
Sydney Medeiros
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.
