First, here’s what we’re not: Maine Oxy isn’t the typical corporate employer whose leaders lecture employees about what the company culture is, only to have you witness these same leaders act differently. In truth, company cultures are defined by the actions of a company’s senior leadership. Does your employer’s leadership act like their words?
Maine Oxy can’t be untrustworthy like that. Why? Because Maine Oxy is a family-owned company. Our company decisions come with heart because at the end of the day it’s personal to all humans in our organization. Corporate environments don’t have to care about the human aspect of their employees because there’s no family involved in “the bottom line”.
