Pros

Work/Life Balance (1 appt a day, gives you plenty of free time) Selling a great product that consumers have faith in

Cons

Favoritism among staff and management (the opportunity you will actually get is very limited) No Diversity! Poor customer service for your clients (won’t get any help when issues happen and have to deal with plenty of angry customers) Bonus Structure that pins all the sales rep against each other instead of rewarding individual achievements Commission structure that will inevitably rip you off when you realize what a joke the place is and quit.

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.
