Pros

Good pay, and benefits

Cons

I worked for Jeld-Wen 20 years. I seen lots of changes over this period. All for the worse. The company is in a downward spiral with no outlook of a turnaround. They just closed our facility in Lexington NC. I see more shut downs coming in the future with the management team that is in place . The company stock is plummeting daily !!
