Production Lead
"I worked for WLGore for 7.5 years. You need to have superior people skills to work in a leadership role. You also need to have patience if the desire to move up in this company is your end game. Culture of the company is what you make it - however - beware that it is not practiced consistently between buildings which can lead to difficulties in practicing the culture at all. Outstanding work/life considerations. given."

"Been working here many years ( 5+). Great place to work if you don't mind low pay. The ranking and compensation process is not fair (good old boy's network - they vote for each other). Expect about 10-15% less than competitive salary elsewhere. Very flexible schedule. Fun projects. People are nice."
