Pros

Family owned business Genuinely care about the people The company from the top down is built on Servant Leadership Compensation is excellent - Hourly team members have the power to give themselves a bonus each quarter. These are not small bonuses and are very much driven by the team members. End of year service bonus given just before Christmas. Heavily invest in their people. Large majority of upper management came from the production floor. Good insurance coverage.

Cons

I am 59 years old and worked for other company's. Not one compares to this company. I have no negative comments.

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.

Pros

Plenty of Empty offices to cry in

Cons

If you want to be stressed out 24/7, micromanaged and underpaid then this is the job for you. Management does not know what’s going on 99% of the time. There is no growth at all in the company. The Portland Office is literally falling apart and smells of mold. For what the job entails the pay is ridiculously low .Management will never take responsibility of their own mistakes.Random layoffs in the company so if you’re looking for job security this may not be the place for you . If you choose to work here even after this review prepare for a lot of consumption of alcohol after work/weekends. This job is has a lot of “High School Mentality”.
