Pros

Excellent national brand recognition. Lots of freedom day today to run your territory as you see fit. Uncapped earnings, however straight commission with draw.

Cons

Definitely a lone wolf type of sales position, Poor training. A learn by mistakes mentality. Sales support is poor. Expect to wear many hats (Service tech, delivery driver, collections). Plan on competing with national accounts selling your brand and other sales people from your office for the same jobs.

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.

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.
