Pros

3% employer match for 401k you can sometimes work from home during storms you can work at a closer location from home one day per week IT and IT staff are helpful if you assert yourself The Plymouth Meeting office has a cafe, free tea and coffee and a relaxation room raises and bonuses at year end.

Cons

Extreme favoritism management is reactive and not proactive very high turnover lousy health benefits they only listen to and give opportunities to a chosen few of favorites no team work nasty, backstabbing and contentious co-workers a manager who does not address the nastiness of some employees different standards for favorites manager lack of insight on how this affects retainment, morale and subsequently the bottom line in re-hiring costs no privacy when you use the eap rigid and inflexible management very disorganized back-biting and backstabbing work environment a manager's assistant that is nice to you one minute and then tells on you to the boss the next a dead-end job unless you are one of the favorites not open to suggestions favorites get away with murder including chronic lateness and absenteeism which is never addressed impacting morale double standards all around if you're not one of the favorites, they will target you and not give you any credibility when you have a legitimate concern the company is bleeding money by renting out way more office space than they need

Pros

Coworkers help each other when needed

Cons

Pay is terrible for the position. The company provided half an annual raise in 2025 with the promise of the other half in 2026 to align raises with reviews, but then froze all raises. Did not get more than 1.5% raise, but upper management keeps getting promotions with bumps in pay. Metrics are the only thing cared about. Managers micromanage and provide inconsistent and conflicting advice.
