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.

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.
