Trade Sales Consultant - Smoke and Mirrors
Pros
Amazing product with thoughtful design and engineering. Most employees are hard working and willing to assist. Good complete window line offering. Good initial pay.
Cons
Deceitful management. The PDSN's are not helpful with one's own business development in terms of administrative assistance and especially management in terms of working with reps to develop new business. PDSN was unwilling to entrust Reps with any established account. Only receive one week of hands on training in Pella, IA, which was great, but you are on your own after that. PDSN's don't share good or "Key" accounts with employees. PDSN was cryptic in terms of salary vs. draw. Pella Overly pushes Vinyl Window sales which are good but priced higher that competition. Pella Vinyl is limited in terms of window combinations and colors making a hard sale.
