Pros

There is a good level of autonomy, as there is with any sales job.

Cons

As a sales rep you are required to work nights & weekends. You travel in and out of strangers homes and are pushed to try and effectively first call close. The training is absolutely non-existent. For such a complex product, you are left to fend for yourself. Management cares about the bottom dollar, period. They are self-absorbed and have the respect of very few people. There is no room to grow or be promoted. You are not rewarded for your hardwork and it is the most stressful environment.

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.
