Pros

Some of the best reasons to work at Gore is that they really want you to succeed. At Gore they try to do everything they can to help everyone do their best and meet their potential. You have access to all the support and information you need to do well. The sky is the limit with Gore.

Cons

Because of the private ownership, Gore does not pay their sales associates as other companies do. The salaries are typically lower. However, even though in sales there is always a need to meet and exceed goals, Gore understands the changing markets and so if you do not happen to meet your quota, you still get paid without worry of being fired as you would with another sales postion.

Pros

Great benefits and pay helps and feels great, initially.

Cons

The workplace culture is highly toxic and not as supportive of talent as they let on. High performers are targeted by internal cliques who deliberately engineer situations for them to fail. Management entirely condones this behavior, while simultaneously expecting absolute perfection from employees under impossible conditions—forgetting that people are not AI. Furthermore, professional merit is ignored; higher levels of education, years of experience, and employee longevity mean absolutely nothing. Management relies heavily on deflection and stalling tactics to delay growth opportunities. It is an exhausting environment that penalizes hard work and actively blocks career advancement. Overall, the company falls short with their original principles and core foundations for its employees/Associates.
