OUR TEAM
Together, we make up a thriving, close-knit, global community that feels more like family than a workplace. We value and respect each and every teammate; the success of our organization is a direct result of our team’s collaborative effort.
Our team consists of nearly 800 individuals living on five of the seven continents. Over 10% of our team is represented by more than one family member or generation. With such a strong focus on people, it is no surprise that our average employee tenure is eleven years – a fact that we are humbled by.

I will put my feelings in terms of nucleus stability of isotopes. I’m about an Iron-56, which has the third most stable nucleus of all isotopes.
FRANK | SCIENCE | TEAMMATE SINCE 2012
The company culture aligns with my personal values, living honestly with integrity and accepting that we all make and can learn from well-intentioned mistakes.
J.D. | OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING | TEAMMATE SINCE 2002
Oil-Dri has an Open-Door Policy. I trust local facility managers to hear me fairly when I go to them with any issues.
JIM | OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING | TEAMMATE SINCE 2014
My teammates appreciate my contribution, the work I do. In addition to simply hearing the words “Thank you,” we also receive bonuses when the company does well, luncheons to say thank you, and awards nominated by peers.
KEVA | OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING | TEAMMATE SINCE 1992
I find meaning in many ways at Oil-Dri. Doing solid engineering work that is still running like it’s supposed to and effective five years later is meaningful. We make meaningful products in the worlds of animal health, food, pet care, etc. We employ a lot of people and are environmentally responsible.
KIM | OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING | TEAMMATE SINCE 2008
When I first started here, I was a part-time clerk. Now I’m a manager supervising others—that’s huge.
L’TANYA | CORPORATE FUNCTIONS | TEAMMATE SINCE 1991
I have a good supervisor. He is willing to work with you on any problem you have. I also have confidence in the senior staff.
OSCAR | OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING | TEAMMATE SINCE 1977
We all focus on safety because we care for each other.
TRACY | OPERATIONS AND ENGINEERING | TEAMMATE SINCE 1990
Due to my previous experiences in the Export Department, I was given the opportunity to be the Team Leader. I appreciate the fact that management looked within the company first. As a leader my weaknesses are being improved and strengths developed.
TIFFANY | SALES & MARKETING | TEAMMATE SINCE 2014
We have a real product to sell, good people to package and market it, honest people to sell it and hardworking people to service it.
KEVIN | SALES & MARKETING | TEAMMATE SINCE 2011
I’ve been around long enough to have the opportunity to live with the consequences of decisions I made in the past. I’ve been here long enough to see trees I planted that are now being cut for wood.
MARC | SCIENCE | TEAMMATE SINCE 1993
At whatever level you are, you get treated the same, and appreciation is really shown for what you do.
YASMITH | SALES & MARKETING | TEAMMATE SINCE 2006
I think because we are a smaller company, it feels more like a family environment and you feel you want to do your best for this company just like you would do for your own family…You have both breadth and depth of experience—more influence over more parts of the business.
