We’re sorry to hear about your experience and thank you for everything you and the team have done to go above and beyond a normal shift schedule. We know that window and door bookings growth has resulted in more overtime hours at Murray. Record low unemployment has also impacted staffing and we’re trying to hire and train team members quickly to relieve overtime demands. We’re also trying to expand our recruiting and on-boarding efforts, looking at different shift schedules, and moving production across our plants.

Pros

Pella offers a strong culture with a genuine focus on people, quality and community. I appreciate the collaborative environment and the pride people take in the work we do. It’s a place where your contributions matter and you feel connected to the bigger picture.

No major downsides based on my experience.

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.
