Pros

-Solid culture, people generally treat each other well -A private company that is run with the goal of sustainable success -Compensation is fair

Cons

-Caught between the desire for agile project management and still having laborious project approval processes -Resources, engineering in particular, are being reallocated so frequently that project and individual performance are being hampered due to lack of continuity -Occasional lack of accountability for decisions at director level -Work/life balance is mediocre at best for professional employees, this has cause young professionals to leave

Pros

Great UX/UI interfaces, generally easy to navigate systems if you have general computer knowledge but can navigate multiple systems and screens. Great metrics which make it easier for as coordinators to not feel so stressed out to get to the next call, but to also know we do still need to take another call. Team leads and trainers at Pella Corp are amazing.

Cons

Remembering to constantly have to clear cache and cookies it a little annoying to get everything to work apporpriatly. But it is part of technology sometimes and everything being web based. Also, during training when you go peer to peer, some of the peer's are not really the best mentors an will really push you to do take calls when you are not ready to, which may be good or bad. For me it ended badly. Not for everybody else, but sometimes people just are not ready and people need to know when to listen to someone as to now cause an anxiety or panic attaack because it can be nerve racking when you genuinely do not feel ready to take that first call.
