Pros

There is ample parking in a good location that is handy to the restaurants and shops of Cranberry. There is an on-site gym and locker rooms. It is generally a very stable company.

Cons

This is a "family run" company that is one of the most culturally backward places I've ever experienced. Overall employee morale and resentment is terrible. Condescending emails from corporate and HR are routine. They formally require 5 hours of unpaid overtime every week from all salaried employees, regardless of what is going on with projects -- and they regularly show charts to demonstrate whether this requirement is being met. They have keyed entries for the bathrooms. During my time there, it was nearly impossible to join their on-site gym because they limited membership to the point that I rarely saw more than one person in a room full of 8 or 9 pieces of equipment. Their IT processes are manual and cumbersome, imposing all kinds of error-prone busy work that could easily be handled by automation. When problems do occur, the executives engage in meetings full of hand wringing and public chastisement of the IT people for "allowing" the problem to occur, while simultaneously keeping a blind eye to the actual root cause and their own culpability. The ultimate frustration, though, is the inability to actually fix or change anything due to being handcuffed by policies from corporate owners in Butler who eagerly set rules about things they don't understand. In the end, good people leave.

Pros

Company had a good reputation

Cons

IT Department was run like an SS prison camp. Upper managers were very aloof. People were fired on the spot. Others were trying to get out before they got fired. Very high pressure.
