I've always loved Milgard products! (I've bought Milgard vinyl windows and patio doors for 2 homes over the years.) I was thrilled to learn they had a marketing position available 5 years ago when I was job hunting and felt it was a dream come true to work for a brand I respected. It's a family oriented company that cares about it's team members. The company values are aligned with my work ethic and the people are friendly and welcoming. Virtual working has been an option.
Cons
The building if Fife is a bit outdated, but, they are working on improvements.

Cons
Work/Life Balance gets a one star rating
Vehemently against remote and hybrid work. Says that working in the office is vital to creating relationships even though we all stay in our cubicles and all of the meetings are on Teams
Middle management seems checked out
Lots of peer pressure to work in office even when sick. Nobody is asked to go home if they come in hacking up a lung. Very few feel like they have the freedom and ability to take advantage of their vacation time. Over working yourself is seen as a value here, but isn't recognized as going above and beyond. It's an expectation.
Seasonal whiplash - mandatory OT in the summer months, followed by hours possibly getting cut back in the winter months
