Lisa Nguyen
Operations Analyst II
"In 2023, I was hired as an Operations Analyst with very limited experience in the industry. Now, one year later, I excel in my role, thanks to the mentorship of my team and manager. I have had the opportunity to learn and collaborate with many supportive coworkers and department heads. At Nor-Cal, I have acquired many skills that I hadn't had the chance to develop at previous companies, such as leading process improvement projects. This experience has shown me that hard work truly pays off, and you do get recognized. After two years at Nor-Cal, I was promoted to Operations Analyst II due to my continued hard work and dedication. One important lesson I've learned at Nor-Cal is that they genuinely support your needs, help you achieve your career goals, and have your back every step of the way."

Alexander Bear
Technical Sales Representative/Account Manager
"I first joined Nor-Cal in the fall of 2019, helping out in the warehouse during their busy season. When I returned in May 2024 to be part of the newly formed sales team, it immediately felt like coming home. I absolutely love working at Nor-Cal and I’ve been continually impressed by the culture, the people, and the opportunities for growth here.
Nor-Cal offers an environment where you’re encouraged to learn, take on new challenges, and push beyond your comfort zone—all while being supported by a team of genuinely smart, hardworking, and down-to-earth people. Every day brings something new to learn, and I feel like I’m building a meaningful career alongside colleagues who truly care about what they do. It’s exciting to be part of a company that’s growing, innovating, and investing in its people."
Nicole Cunningham-Donnelly
Office Manager
"In 2024, I was hired as an Office Manager at Nor-Cal and working here has been such an incredible experience. The people and leadership here are amazing and you can tell that they truly care. The leadership team is supportive and dedicated to ensuring employees have opportunities for growth and the tools they need to succeed. I feel grateful to be part of such a collaborative and caring team that pushes each other to grow and celebrate each other’s successes.
I’m especially thankful to my manager, who continuously challenges me to develop my skills and reach new goals, while always being there to offer guidance and encouragement. Her leadership has made an impact on my professional growth.
Nor-Cal to me is more than just a workplace, it’s a community of people who lift each other up, strive for excellence, and make coming to work every day something I truly look forward to."
