"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."

"Gore has the potential to be great and falls short when it looses site of it's greatest asset, the people. I've been employed over 15 years with friends an family serving 20-30+ years. Depending on your job description, the treatment varies greatly! I'm concerned for Gores tenured Associates in hourly positions. When they become disabled or less capable, there are devastating consequences that can result in termination. The gender and minority pay gap is real, and the hiring process has much to improve when it comes to feedback regarding interviewing. It was also shared with me that Gore hires minorities to meet demographic quotas, especially around leadership."
