Pros

Some of the people were great to work with.

Cons

Employees - including long time, long term employees - were tragically overworked and underpaid. Soon after I was hired they almost lost most of their key people because the complaining about this was so universal, they threatened to walk out. Management only backed down when they knew they had too much to lose ... and even then, every penny had to be fought for. Extremely high turnover rate. Most of the better employees quit after a short period b/c of the low pay and neglect of employee needs - or, they fired people on a whim when they were no longer useful. My advice: stay away and look elsewhere.

Pros

Pella offers a strong culture with a genuine focus on people, quality and community. I appreciate the collaborative environment and the pride people take in the work we do. It’s a place where your contributions matter and you feel connected to the bigger picture.

Pros

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.

Cons

The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability. There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
