Pros

Fantastic management and coworkers. High degree of independence. Never the same day twice. Always learning. Success is well compensated with many methods to achieve bonus outside of just selling volume. Work scheduling (work/life) for days on and off are balanced and predictable. Pay is very reliable and timely. Excellent product to promote with a solid name and history.

Cons

I have found flexibility and willingness to say yes to almost any and every customer specific opportunity is a must. This means plenty of off-schedule client meetings.

Pros

Pay is competitive. Benefits are an incentive for families

Cons

The company and community lacks diversity and activities other than family or religious activities. Leadership does a poor job of promoting an enjoyable workplace. Vacation time is below average.

Hello, we're sorry to hear about your experience. The Pella community is a vibrant place to live, and while there may be more events in a larger metropolis (Des Moines is less than an hour drive), the area offers recreational opportunities, shopping, restaurants, a movie and live theatre, an aquatic center, and cultural events, just to name a few. We value the importance of providing our team with competitive benefits and a great place to work and have several initiatives in place to make the experience even better for our team.
