We're sorry to hear you wouldn't recommend Ore and disappointed we didn't get a chance to discuss your experience in person. We want to understand better our employees' frustrations and then get to work on making improvements. We take feedback to heart and then we work hard on making things right. We are actively revamping our compensation strategy to ensure we pay a fair and competitive wage not only to our new hires but all of our employees. We're also training (new and existing) employees with a new certifications and qualifications program that will increase our employees' skill level and pay. We are hiring more than ever to bring in experienced talent to help share the workload ...this includes responsibilities that owners have previously handled. If you're interested in learning more about these (and other) programs Ore has implemented and will continue to implement, we'd love to talk ...and listen. You can reach the Human Resource Department directly by calling 801-677-0340.

Pros

Their product was of the highest quality. I really felt passionate about facilitating green spaces in cities with the Ore product line. From the edging, fire pits, and water features the craftsmanship really showed the passion of the design, sales and manufacturing team. Shane is a great CEO and leader, he truly is deeply committed to providing a top tier product nationwide, working with the premier landscape architects in the country.

Cons

During my time there were 3 sales managers which created a lot of change but leadership always encouraged and open door policy to escalate concerns and opportunities for improvement.

Pros

HR people are nice. But they are the only ones leaving good reviews here!

Cons

Everything else! This place is a revolving door. Almost everyone hates working there, but they do because they have few options. Don't waste your time. The culture is toxic and it comes from the top. The owner is pompous and arrogant. Seriously, there are much better places to work. Read the reviews here (Not the ones from HR, LOL!) and save yourself a big headache. And benefits are terrible!

We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Ore was not a positive one. We appreciate your positive comment about HR, but we recognize that a strong workplace depends on leadership, communication, accountability, and trust across the entire company. Ore is actively working to strengthen those areas and improve the overall employee experience. To that point, Ore takes concerns about culture, leadership, turnover, benefits, and employee experience seriously. While we can't speak to every detail in an anonymous review, we do use this feedback to better understand where employees may feel unsupported and where we need to improve. And then we get to work making those improvements. So thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate the time you spent with Ore and wish you the best moving forward.
