Pros

Most of the employees are great, it’s a very fascinating industry and all the products were gorgeous when the Pental brothers were running the show.

Cons

After Pental sold the company, the place went to total disaster. Before you were able to voice your concerns, and feel like you were being heard in an actual family environment. Now there is NO ONE to voice your concerns to because upper management never has time to listen to their employees because they only care about sales numbers. Before I left, they stopped hiring more people, even though they Knew you and your co-workers were DROWNING in work. You are never able to fully catch up on any work because when they did hire people, they hired people with no experience in high volume, fast paced environments. There is NO time to train the new people and management keep telling them that they would be properly trained and given a manual of how to enter orders, handle certain situations, this never happened. I was laid off due to being the only female in the office that had children in the time of the of pandemic and needed to be home full time because I had no daycare option. They are NOT willing to help their employees with children, eventually because school was still in session at home, they fired me. If you are looking into applying for any position at Pental, be prepared to be undervalued and unappreciated unless you are a friend of any kind of upper management. Also, there is no where to move up in the company, they give the wrong leadership positions to the wrong people!! You will not see any kind of employee review, or if you do get the review, be prepared to not see a raise in your salary for at least three months.

Pros

This company is a good entry level place for new interior designers, students, forklift drivers, or customer service people. There is not much room for advancement so pass on your resume to customers that come in. The products are nice if you like tile and slab. Sometimes employees are allowed leftover food from an event the night before. As long as you follow procedure, time-off is approved. Overtime is required on Saturday for many. The company continues growing in a slow economy. The president cares about the company, even if others may not.

Cons

Low compensation in the field for most job positions. New job postings list a higher starting wage than the wage many current employees make (expect low raises once a year if lucky). Job postings until very recently were secret to the inner company employees. Recently they have been posted in the lunch room. Many departments do not have a work space (desk area or table) for each employee. A few "cubicals" are composed of boxes in the storage room. There is new unoccuppied office space whose plans do not consider expanding more crowded departments. If you are new to the warehouse crew your job is sweeping and toilet cleanup. No janitors for that service. There is a high turnover rate.
