Posted 18 days ago

The leadership team has built a strategy that is working, and they care deeply about their employees.

They understand what there role is an get it done

Fun environment, great pay, acknowledge achievement.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

More of a long term vison and treating partners they way that they want to be treated. Leadership acts like people need Pella more than Pella needs partners and customers.

Management and leadership training, hiring and KEEPING quality and qualified workforce.

how they treat employees, how they are focused on these screens showing how many you've made in an hour vs what you could've made. makes my lead a raging lunatic.

Understanding their employees needs better

I think a good relationship with your employees will be suffice. Get to know your employees and see what their needs are.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

It was competitive and fair

It use to be profit sharing before the program was stripped down and Pella's leadership teams compensation is more important than partners.

Our benefits are on par with industry standards.

Bonus and Profit Sharing Program

401k profit sharing. I have saved a substantial amount due to that.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

I dont believe the company should be equal. They preach "one pella" when in reality theres a lot of skill levels within the company. I in particular work in mes and believe that all of us here are very skilled and should not be viewd as equal to domeone in a band 100 that works on a production line

A raise that keeps up with inflation

My plant dont get same wages or benefits as corporate.

If I had been performing the role that was advertised when I accepted the position, then I would not have had qualms with the starting salary they offered, although I believe it was lower than it should have been. My role was more extensive and carried greater responsibilities than it should have.

Changes in compensation and increased responsibilities have made it clear Pella puts the emphasis on profit over people

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

Collaborative, resourceful, caring, result oriented

Posted 18 days ago

team has great diversity of knowledge and experience.

Talent, work ethic and a desire to help others

No egos, it's about doing what is best for our customers. Working together to come up with the right solutions.

We work together and move around the line as much as we can to reach our numbers regardless of how short staffed we are on some days.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

Actually do there own work, not piggy back on orhers.

Corporate expectations are completely unrealistic

Older people who have been there the longest are struggling wifh the company changing. People gossip way more than they should and make new hires uncomfortable. Troubled coworkers dont get taken care of right away, leading to negative attitudes on the line. People leaving crying and quitting. Etc.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

People care tremendously about ewch other and the organization.

Posted 14 days ago

Teammates and Pella's focus on the customer experience.

Our culture is led by caring deeply about each other and the customers we serve.

being told you're not working Saturday. the lunch bell, pay day.

All employees including managerial rolls have great personalities and work with you as best they can. Most everyone here is fairly positive towards each other

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Treating employees better especially after 20 years of service

More focus on quality as opposed to profit

they need to go back to Joans way of thinking of the work place as a family

Management needs more training on how to communicate with their employees. Too many favorites.

Review from Product Dept

LOTS. Pella is going down hill with its culture... even spanish speakers are beginning to notice and want to leave.

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

The authenticity of the people and the opportunity.

It was average, and a long time ago.

It's been to many years fir me to remember

It was 31 years ago. Dont remember exactly

The performance of the speech and the polite and pefersinal attitude when intrtviews

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Interviews Reviews

Be more selective with individuals

Pay more attention to qualifications , not outside relationships

What makes you most happy at work?

Outlook Reviews

Working with talented individuals at every levele of the organization

Posted 14 days ago

To work and achieve as a team.

Collaborating with my colleagues, passionate about the work we do.

my fellow assembly coworkers, the bell to leave.

Getting deserved recognition for job well done. Feeling appreciated.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

Sticking to meaningful values and not changing direction with the wind.

An upper management person was part of closing down another local nation serving company and seems to have an attitude against laborers, they should never be able to retire with a substantial retirement according to him.

I believe we're losing quality in exchange for profitability.

We need to look into training the management on the new world that we are in and the value of the employers that have been there for years

Too many bad parts being sent down the lines
