Pros

I have been with Pella Corporation for 8 years and have loved working for this company. They not only empower us to be extraordinary but you have the ability to create your own path of success. With drive and passion the sky is the limit with this company. Working in National Accounts my territory becomes my own business and I have the ability to drive my own success with the knowledge of my area. Working for a family owned company shows in all they do, where your teammates not on become friends but they become family. 8 years in and still loving it!

Cons

Working in National Accounts you don't have an office you go to but the great things is everyone is just a call away. You may think you are on an island but you are not and so many people there to assist in every way.
