Pros

Great culture, you work out if your home and make your own schedule. The initial training is helpful but you end up learning what you need to know from your co-workers and when you’re out in the field. Very little management oversight - you are expected to be a sales professional.

Cons

You and your fellow sales reps are all in basically the same territory because there are not definitive boundaries and there is usually a lot of driving involved. You are not only competing with competitors, but also your own teammates for accounts and it can be difficult when your teammates have worked with Pella upwards of 5-10 years.

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.
