Pros

The people that work here are fantastic, and as of the last few years this office is locally owned. The job is very autonomous and has a lot of freedom and flexibility as long as you hit your numbers. You are essentially running your own business and you choose how successful you are. The earning potential is awesome and the benefits are pretty good.

Cons

There is a lot of computer work that goes into this job and eats up a lot of time, some days it feels like your not even a sales rep. The company has grown sales a lot in a short amount of time and the infrastructure has not caught up yet, leaving more work for the reps that shouldn't be their responsibility. There is a very large learning curve when entering this industry. There was very minimal room for growth.

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.
