Pros

Unmatched employee centric culture, where you're valued and your voice has a meaning. Also, our CEO, Tim Yaggi is top notch...we couldn't ask for a better executive to e leading this company into the next phase of our existence. It's truly a one of a kind place and I couldn't imagine not being a part of this great organization.

Cons

Let's create a more diverse workforce. Diversity is the driving force of sustained success in an organization.

Pay is competitive. Benefits are an incentive for families

The company and community lacks diversity and activities other than family or religious activities. Leadership does a poor job of promoting an enjoyable workplace. Vacation time is below average.

Hello, we're sorry to hear about your experience. The Pella community is a vibrant place to live, and while there may be more events in a larger metropolis (Des Moines is less than an hour drive), the area offers recreational opportunities, shopping, restaurants, a movie and live theatre, an aquatic center, and cultural events, just to name a few. We value the importance of providing our team with competitive benefits and a great place to work and have several initiatives in place to make the experience even better for our team.
