Hilcorp is one of the largest privately-held oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in the United States and was also named to the 2015 FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For list. That makes it their third year in a row on that list.

"Mr. Jeff Hilldebrand, and our president Greg Lalicker, they are such amazing motivators," said Thompson. "Somedays I just kind of look down the hall and say I cant believe these are my bosses and they’re the best."

Thompson said Hildebrand stands by every promise he makes to his employees if they reach the company’s goal.

"That was based on doubling the size of Hilcorp over a five year period and we met that goal," she said. "And we all were able to celebrate and enjoy that life changing day together. We cried with happiness for each other, we hugged."

In 2010, Thompson said they received a huge bonus for reaching that same goal. She said they doubled the company in size and were all able to choose a $50,000 car or a $35,000 cash check.
