Pros

Fantastic leader (CEO) who cares about the company and it's employees. He's given a bad rap by those who don't perform (they blame him for his high expectations rather than stepping up and actually contributing) but he's the best boss I've ever had. He cares and is generous and involved.

Cons

Building the same thing everyday gets easy ...and boring. Building something new every day is challenging ...and offers growth. The fact that we're a custom order shop presents new obstacles on a daily basis so we're always facing a new challenge we've never encountered before.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Ore's Founder and CEO is 100% dedicated to the company and sets the standard high. He's also dedicated to those he employs and we all work hard together to keep growing and moving forward. We'll continue to invest in Ore's leadership, and all employees alike. We'll also continue working on the challenges of custom-design and made-to-order products in an effort to make Ore Designs better every day.

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.
