Pros

Great diversity and trauma bonded coworkers 💪

Cons

Horrendous management. Horrendous expectations. Horrendous quality. I don’t know how many multi-hundred unit containments we need before something is done about how this place is run. Just know when you buy a Pella window, you buy a remake. 60 seconds is not enough time to make a good quality product. Constant changes made by a management that has never worked a day on a line create unnecessary stress. Management delegates their own work to those under them, like their own audits. They do not treat us with respect. You can tell we are objects and tools to them. Corruption is off the charts (word is a production manger was just fired for sleeping with his subordinates). We just had “education meetings” to discourage us from forming a union. We are told positive change is coming, but we’ve been hearing that for years. Every time you turn around, another benefit is cut from us. Bonuses are gone, profit sharing is gone, and they’ve even found a way to deny us a cost of living increase by changing its name to something else.

Pros

1. The pay is decent. 2. Decent benefits

Cons

1. It is a small business model despite it being a such a large company, so room for growth is not of abundance. 2. It seems the company has a habit of making changes that are not beneficial to employees or customers. Leadership just complains instead of being proactive to implement positive change. 3. I have never in my life experienced anything like working at this company in such a negative way. To witness upper management blatantly lie on me without any proof. And to receive the support
