Pella - a place to know and a place to grow

Corporate treasurer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pella has a caring culture that supports team members as we drive to continue to achieve great results through our 95 year history of innovation and investing in our people. I never thought after transitioning to Pella 21 years ago, I would be here that long, but the people, culture and continuous push to be the #1 Brand have kept me here as there is always a new challenge.

Cons

No company is perfect and as we continue to grow, there will always be opportunities around focus, what to do and more importantly what not to do with our limited resources. While difficult and at times creates pinch points in resources, growth is a great problem to have and we will continue to work through those challenges.
