Pros

There is a good level of autonomy, as there is with any sales job.

Cons

As a sales rep you are required to work nights & weekends. You travel in and out of strangers homes and are pushed to try and effectively first call close. The training is absolutely non-existent. For such a complex product, you are left to fend for yourself. Management cares about the bottom dollar, period. They are self-absorbed and have the respect of very few people. There is no room to grow or be promoted. You are not rewarded for your hardwork and it is the most stressful environment.

Hello, it's our understanding that you worked for an independently-owned and operated distributor of Pella products. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. While night and evening appointments are often part of the job, our sales team finds this can create flexibility during the week. We know the tools, training, and support required to succeed in sales are critical and we’d like to learn more about your experience. If you’re willing to provide feedback, email us at employerbrand@pella.com.
