Pros

Flexible schedule which is nice. Unfortunately the reason it is flexible is because there are not enough appointments for everyone.

Cons

You are asked to do other people's job without getting paid to do it and without any training. Dealing with the head office in west Caldwell is extremely difficult since no one is willing to help AWFUL pay structure Bigger appointments are given to the reps who have been there the longest. No chance for new people to make money Forced to lie to homeowners and explain the window is different than the Pella window you can buy at Lowes There is 0 difference.

Pros

Pella offers a strong culture with a genuine focus on people, quality and community. I appreciate the collaborative environment and the pride people take in the work we do. It’s a place where your contributions matter and you feel connected to the bigger picture.

Cons

No major downsides based on my experience.

Pros

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.

Cons

The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability. There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
