      Third Shift Abuse - Material Handler/Forklift Operator Pella Employee Review

      Pros

      The teamwork we had on our night shift was great.

      Cons

      Long, grueling hours on third shift, mandatory overtime three Fridays in a row, no extra pay for third shift. When they no longer need mandatory overtime, they lay you off temporarily and have to file unemployment paperwork and are delayed money waiting for that to process. Nearly impossible to move to a better position unless you’re sleeping with someone above you.

      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.

      Cons

      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.
