What is the salary like at W. L. Gore & Associates?

Company culture Great work environment Supportive team and leadership Working hard to always improve Work life balance is excellent Stock program is amazing Beautiful production facilities and offices

Pay is average but offset by the great people, work life balance, excellent benefits and remote sales set up

Good benefits, decent pay, great allotment of time off

Poor communication across the company. You never know who to contact for anything & no one else knows either. They say there's no hierarchy but there is. Some people act like they're better than you & are very entitled. Some leaders speak disrespectfully to support staff. Administrative Support are treated like they don't matter. Not even an acknowledgement on Admin Professional's Day. No kind of acknowledgements all - birthday, holiday...very strange environment. Being laid off turned out to be a blessing as I was not happy there. They are heartless, unfeeling people. Not at all what I thought Gore would be. A lot of people lost their jobs and yet they've spent tons of money on picnics and parties and stay in expensive, luxury hotels when they travel for business. It's disgusting. So glad to be gone from there.

There is decent pay and a good amount of PTO and sick time with the option to purchase more PTO with your benefits

The DRAMA. It will drive you insane. Even if you’re one that tends to be alone, people find a way to drag you into things. Leadership is absolutely horrible with favoritism and many leaders are on high category write ups. Harassment at this job is also quite common. Just know if you are harassed or must report something to HR, the whole company will know about it within a couple of weeks. This job may have decent pay for the roles you perform, but it takes a serious toll on your mental health.

great benefits, good culture if followed, good pay.

very prone to getting injured

Good pay, great benefits, excellent work-life balance

Change fatigue is absolutely ruthless right now. Hopeful steady waters are ahead

Good benefits, decent pay, very accommodating

No upward movement, difficult to be included, no real culture, no development opportunities

The people directly surrounding me are extremely knowledgeable, capable, skilled employees.

Gore needs to stop touting "culture" and "benefits" as one of the reasons why we are paid so unfairly. I have been attempting to have my roles salary reconsidered for the last year and haven't been successful, every attempt I make gets shut down or put on hold. The culture is disappearing more and more with every external "process improvement" employee we hire, and no matter how great people may claim the culture is or used to be, the "culture" cannot make up for the five figure deficit in my pay. The "culture" will not pay my bills, nor will ASOP, or any of the other "benefits" that we're forced to have that higher ups use to justify our comparatively low salaries. Even though everyone continuously thanks me for how much work I do, even though I always rank high on C&Cs, conveniently enough there's "not enough in the budget" to even give me a raise that keeps up with inflation, meaning I'm effectively being paid less every single year that goes by even though inflation is at an all time high. On top of this, I have been doing the job of three people for two years now, continuously being told that "help is on the way!" and "we're working on getting you help". I have even spoken with global leaders regarding this issue, who said they would work immediately to have this help secured, only to be met with nothing. Associates can only take so much of this overpromising and underdelivering, and it's going to lead to a drastic loss of talent, and ultimately, the demise of Gore. This is not even taking the massive layoffs into account, but I'm sure you can read enough about that in other reviews. Serious changes in the way things are being handled need to be made.

Great pay, AMAZING benefits, great people.

Downsizing, in office, constant change

The culture here is amazing, inclusive and flexible. All walks of life and lifestyles are welcomed here and you are free to challenge your leadership when you feel you need to. This is a very open minded and forward thinking workplace

Average pay is low for this type of work but GORE has terrific options like ASOP, 401k and they contribute toward your medical benefits. There is also lots of vacation and sick time .

Good benefits, competitive pay, team building

Crazy hours, exhausting, injuring, strict
