Pros

Benefits were great and it was exciting to be part of a large, growing organization.

Cons

During my time at JELD-WEN, the culture ranged from bearable to toxic. The employee turnover rate was astronomically high and it was disappointing to see great people leaving the organization due to mismanagement and poor leadership. It was also uncomfortable to feel the growing pains of a company that recently made the transition to becoming publically traded. Layoffs and hiring freezes seemed almost routine.
