Pros
- Jeld-Wen pays more than most places around here for every position. - You will work lots of hours, whether you want to or not. We all have bills to pay. In the short term this can be a good thing. - The co-workers there all come together and support each other for the most part. - Benefits and 401(k) matching are competitive - If you quit or get fired, that bridge is likely not burned. Frequently, they will hire you back.
Cons
- Extraordinarily toxic environment. - Zero work-life balance - Very high turn-over at every level - Will tell you on Friday afternoon that you will be required to work Saturday, and then Saturday will require you to work Sunday. Never mind whether you had plans. And no, this is not an option. - Your job will be threatened at the drop of a hat. - Management is always angry and generally abusive - If you take advantage of their school assistance program, expect to get fired before they pay you.
