Pros

Pella Corporation offers a lot of opportunity for personal growth with optional training at your own pace. Also the profit sharing is a great benefit for building a retirement account. The work environment is positive, where everyone works hard and are always willing to help out when needed. If you enjoy detail, people and solving problems this is the right place for you. The town of Pella is quaint, with lots of outdoor opportunities with the lake and lots of bike and walking trails. The public schools are good.

Cons

There is no vision coverage.
