Instructional Designer (Training & Development) Reviews

Calfrac is a mid-large sized company, but as they’ve grown it still feels very family oriented; which I love. The executives have all for the most part worked their way up the ranks and know what it’s like to be the guy at the bottom doing all the hard work. They take the time to visit the districts and to get to know and recognize their employees. I’ve worked for Calfrac for over nine years and have been given many opportunities for advancement. I started as an office administrator for one small district. Over time I fell into the world of Training and Development. Now I work with the Global Corporate Training and Development department and enjoy traveling between the U.S. And Canada developing instructor led, online, and blended learning programs for all divisions of the company. Calfrac utilizes the SMART goals method for performance based assessment. Which includes personal development growth opportunities. They have paid for my formalized education through the University of California for the E-Learning Instructional Design program; and continue to offer further growth opportunities as they benefit both myself and the company. I’m not going to say I’ve never had issues with a direct supervisor or another employee, but overall I feel very lucky to work with the people at Calfrac; and especially with my direct team. I feel that the work I do is recognized by the company, that it makes a difference, and that I’m compensated fairly.
