For the second year in a row, Forbes has named window and door manufacturer, Pella Corporation, among the 2023 Best-In-State Employers List. This accolade is the latest Pella has earned as an employer, following recognition earlier this year as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces by Newsweek.
What Pella says
"Our continued ranking as a top employer reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering a culture that prioritizes the well-being of our team,” says John Bollman, chief human resources officer, Pella Corporation. “We strive to create an environment where everyone finds purpose in their work, feels valued, and can reach their full potential. It's this focus that drives our company forward and makes Pella a great place to work.”
Pella as an employer

Pella attributes this retention to their caring culture, which includes a focus on career development for every team member and competitive benefits like nine paid holidays, vacation, sick leave and flexible work arrangements.
