Pros

Taking home free scrap trim and pine, company auction of products. Company bonus

Cons

Training program and progress to more important roles, don't want to get anyone upset who's been there a long time, people set in their ways, They don't schedule much work and want you to find something to fix or do so you get low evals saying your not staying busy, leads take the credit and give you very little credit. Come in to work every Saturday. You will work alot of hours in maintenance and most Saturdays. Unless you use vacation.

Pros

Great UX/UI interfaces, generally easy to navigate systems if you have general computer knowledge but can navigate multiple systems and screens. Great metrics which make it easier for as coordinators to not feel so stressed out to get to the next call, but to also know we do still need to take another call. Team leads and trainers at Pella Corp are amazing.

Cons

Remembering to constantly have to clear cache and cookies it a little annoying to get everything to work apporpriatly. But it is part of technology sometimes and everything being web based. Also, during training when you go peer to peer, some of the peer's are not really the best mentors an will really push you to do take calls when you are not ready to, which may be good or bad. For me it ended badly. Not for everybody else, but sometimes people just are not ready and people need to know when to listen to someone as to now cause an anxiety or panic attaack because it can be nerve racking when you genuinely do not feel ready to take that first call.
