Pros

Great culture, you work out if your home and make your own schedule. The initial training is helpful but you end up learning what you need to know from your co-workers and when you’re out in the field. Very little management oversight - you are expected to be a sales professional.

Cons

You and your fellow sales reps are all in basically the same territory because there are not definitive boundaries and there is usually a lot of driving involved. You are not only competing with competitors, but also your own teammates for accounts and it can be difficult when your teammates have worked with Pella upwards of 5-10 years.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and thank you for everything you and the team have done to go above and beyond a normal shift schedule. We know that window and door bookings growth has resulted in more overtime hours at Murray. Record low unemployment has also impacted staffing and we’re trying to hire and train team members quickly to relieve overtime demands. We’re also trying to expand our recruiting and on-boarding efforts, looking at different shift schedules, and moving production across our plants.
