Pros

Strong culture in respectful accountability to high achievement and continuous improvement in process, people, and performance. Success and above average results are not optional, but the company values people first in order to achieve the success and results we get. Pella fosters the best out of almost everyone that works here through integration of teamwork and training. I have worked at multiple places prior to this, and there are pros and cons to all of them. But I did not realize until I got here what "great" really meant when referring to a place to have a career.

Cons

It is a very large company and it is easy to get lost in the vastness of what all happens throughout the entirety of the company. Can feel like you are not making a big enough impact if you are used to being at a smaller company where the same results would have been game changing for the smaller company and only marginal improvement for a company this size. However, with time and the right leader you will come to realize that you are just as important if no more in this company despite its size.

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.
