Pros

Always busy so the time flew by fast. Plenty of overtime, benefits were good, interview process was easy, staff was very knowledgeable about Windows and doors. The company was growing fast

Cons

Management looked down on employees, sometimes work was challenging due to weather conditions in the warehouse. Bathroom area was disgusting

Pros

reasonable pay rate and health insurance, lots of hours available, good co-workers, paid time off plan is very flexible and fairly good holiday and vacation and retirement plans

Cons

poor product design and manufacturing systems so there is little ability to have satisfaction in your job, inconsistent and unreliable management - the company focuses on marketing and profits instead of good products or employee satisfaction - constant mandatory overtime leaves employees over stressed and unhappy

Pros

Good and many different products. If you are successful in your job; you will make a decent income, I think new management has screwed down the positions that pay good. A lot of the positions are work from home and require lots of travel. All expenses are paid plus providing a company car.

Cons

The new ownership/management laid of about 5,000 people with a lot coming out of sales. Territories that were producing above goals and sales people were making 100K+ got restructured to territories that did not pay as well, some times older sales people were let go.
