Opportunity is yours to take!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you want to grow, the opportunity is there! More than "just a job", truly a career. Growth and excitement about recent mergers for our one combined company.

Cons

Change is hard...with mergers, etc there is a lot of work to be done. People get discouraged because things are "changing" for their legacy company, but need to keep the "go forward company in site. With lots of work, employee morale goes down at times but the management staff continue to do little things to show they care.

Stay Away from PA! Nothing but Corruption and Favoritism

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is nothing I could positively say that was good...maybe in the beginning it was good but it went to crap soon after!

Cons

Corrupt Management, when a manager from another dept. touched me inapprop. I told my manager and NOTHING was done about it! They never let you move up unless you are in the "clique". They don't train employees that need the training and then when you complain about them not know how to do their job they tell you it's all in your head when NO ONE likes that co worker! After applying for a management position I was told I wasn't professional enough and then told I would never receive a management position no matter how professional I became. Just a lot of corruption and favoritism! Stay away from this company in PA!!!!!! A lot of shady stuff going on, people sleeping their way to the top!
