Pros

Ore has a great environment. Very friendly co-workers from the front-end all the way out through production. I work with fantastic coworkers that are willing to help out within their expertise. The HR team is a fantastic group and makes sure that you are heard from within the company. They also host quite a bit of events throughout the year that make work a little easier that day. Shane is a fantastic leader and does great providing his company with a great example of hard work. He's very friendly and more often than not open to chat if you have concerns. You do get to learn quite a bit and the level of entry is very low.

Cons

Being a small company, job expectations and responsibilities are completely blown out of proportion. You are expected to wear multiple hats at a "competitive rate" and "work life flexibility". Off hours and Time off for most of the front-end are not taken very seriously. Often times a multitude of both management and coworkers expect you to work on off / vacation hours. Upper management is very inexperienced and does not seem to play an "active role" in providing value to the company. There is often quite a bit of turnover in this area because they are high stress, high expectation roles.

Thanks for the positive acknowledgement and recognizing our great employees. We agree, our co-workers are friendly and great to work with. We're working on the management part, and continue to train them. We've also hired a few new experienced Executives who have brought a lot of expertise (in personnel management as well as process improvement) to the company. Your feedback regarding time off and vacation has been heard and we're going to work on this by educating our co-workers about alternate options for support when you're out of the office and off the clock. We'll work with managers too to ensure they have more resources available so as not to pull you back to work when you're on your own time. Thank you for letting us know what we do well and what we can do better. We sincerely appreciate the feedback and going to get to work on making necessary adjustments.

Thank you! We've invested heavily in new management personnel and management training, and we'll continue to do so. We're also working on breaking down and sharing the tribal knowledge you've referenced so that information and abilities can be shared and allow for greater support. We encourage our employees to collaborate and partner together to improve processes and we're excited about the improvements we're making. Thanks for partnering with us in the process!

Good company, dealing with with the challenges of growth

Pros

Good culture, ownership invests in the company and its people to help them grow, tons of opportunity to grow personally and do fun projects to create/improve processes. The people who stick around are the ones who are actually dedicated to improving things.

Cons

Growth in demand without the resources to meet it puts pressure on employees to make up the production gap. This extra work is compensated as it should be, but recognition of the effort is often understated and hand-waived away

Thanks for the encouragement! Ore's growth can be overwhelming at times and does create challenges, but we are actively and deliberately finding ways to improve and do things better all the time. This includes adding resources (compensation included) where and when we need to in order to continuously improve and ensure our employees are happy. We'll take your advice and continue to recognize (not only) our top contributors, but all of our contributors who make Ore a great place to work.
