Pros

I love working for Pella. This is a place where people actually care about each other and value the perspectives of what each person brings. I have the opportunity to work on projects with people literally across the organization. We believe that people are bringing their best and have good intentions, so I don't see the dysfunction that you hear about from other organizations. People work well together. We like each other!

Cons

Large company that feels small. Depending on what you are looking for or what you're used to.

Pros

The job overall isn't too bad. You typically get to rotate to different spots after every rotation (break). The benefits are pretty good. The thing that could be good/bad, however you look at it, are the hours. During the summer time, you can EASILY get up to 56 hours a week. Pay is every Friday. Seems to be a decent amount of opportunities to move up from within. Paid holidays off.

Cons

Like I said above, the hours can REALLY start to get too much. Working 56 hours almost every week can drain the body and really tire you from working. The super long hours also really hinder having a life outside of work.
