Pros

Pella offers a unique, open culture of collaboration and support - and has a great network of leaders at all levels of the business. Having the stability of a company that's been around just shy of 100 years is important to me, so I plan to be with Pella long term.

Cons

We are constantly trying to improve, which means sometimes we try things that don't work out. Our corporate structure and network can be confusing to someone new. Our products and services are very diverse, and extensive, which sometimes makes things feel more complex than they should be.
