Pros

Competitive salary and benefits, dedicated employees, each day is different which makes the work exciting and challenging.

Cons

Limited opportunities for promotion/growth unless you live in Allentown (headquarters). Major changes in management have caused significant issues and a fear based environment. Constant restructuring and downsizing, employees being replaced with contractors, constructive culture is preached but no longer practiced. Good employees are jumping ship....
