Pros

Very flexible schedule, amazing work life balance. Supportive management, high quality products. If you can sell 100k a month in windows you will make 96k+ salary. Not incredibly hard, not easy though.

Cons

Pella has had issues in the past with quality, however the products now are top notch. Products are overpriced, but still very high quality.
