SHAVERTOWN, LUZERNE COUNTY- It's been called one of the best businesses to work for in Pennsylvania. And it's in Luzerne County's Back Mountain.

Solid Cactus officially opened it's technology center in Shavertown Monday. That means more jobs for Luzerne County. For Mike White, working at Solid Cactus puts things in perspective. "Feels kind of weird waking up in the morning and actually coming to work in my first grade classroom. But I do enjoy it, I enjoy my job here at Solid Cactus," says White.

White and nearly 180 employees make up the Solid Cactus Technology Center. The building used to be the Westmoreland Elementary School, where White went as a kid. Monday afternoon, Solid Cactus held the building's grand opening. "We're all on a high here today, we're just in a frenzy," says Solid Cactus President Scott Sanfilippo.

Solid Cactus is an e-commerce provider. Employees here are setting up web pages and providing customer service for companies putting their product online. Sanfilippo says he hopes the company continues to grow. "We're born and raised right here in northeastern Pennsylvania, we're going to stay as a Northeastern Pennsylvania company. We're committed to this area, we like to see companies like solid cactus grow and flourish in this area. And we hope to be here for a long time," says Sanfilippo.

The company's been steadily building since it started six years ago. Sanfililippo, and employees here hope that trend continues. Its call center is still based at the Jewelcor building in Wilkes-Barre. The company says there are no plans to move that facility.
