Pros

Stable company. Coworkers feel like family. Opportunities to move up if you work for it. Decent pay.

Cons

Archaic technology and systems though seeing improvement. Pella's values are great in theory, but the employee moral at every level impacts these values and the desired culture negatively. Managers only get paid overtime for the hours their lines are scheduled. Required to come in early or stay late without compensation - max out at 18 hours overtime per week (58 hour work week) but realistically work 65-70 hours per week. Work-life balance is nonexistent 9 out of 12 months of the year when working 6 days a week every week. Turnover is over 50% which creates more overtime for current employees and a constant training environment. It's an endless cycle.
