Pros

The job overall isn't too bad. You typically get to rotate to different spots after every rotation (break). The benefits are pretty good. The thing that could be good/bad, however you look at it, are the hours. During the summer time, you can EASILY get up to 56 hours a week. Pay is every Friday. Seems to be a decent amount of opportunities to move up from within. Paid holidays off.

Cons

Like I said above, the hours can REALLY start to get too much. Working 56 hours almost every week can drain the body and really tire you from working. The super long hours also really hinder having a life outside of work.

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.

Cons

No major downsides based on my experience.

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.
