Pros

Decent pay Opportunity for growth They give you lots of branded hats and shirts

Cons

Manager does not know how to communicate with different types of people If you do your work well you will get more and more thrown on you while other skate by doing the minimum to keep from getting more work on them Micromanaged down to the manager yelling while you are on the phone telling you how to speak to the customer No sick time and you get reprimanded on your review for using PTO if you have an emergency or are sick No raise for 12 months after employment Management does not want the employees talking about there pay Homophonic and transphobic conversations in the office You will be outcasted and verbally reprimanded if you do not attend non work related and unpaid events.

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.
