I am about 6 months out from beginning the Piedmont Cadet program as a CFI so I could receive the 5k tuition reimbursement "bonus" while building to my 1,500- I am now reconsidering due to all the negative feedback I've been reading about Piedmont here on APC... I live 45 minutes from Philadelphia which was originally my primary reason for going with Piedmont, in addition to the flow. If I choose to keep my options open until ATP, would I get that 5k at indoc if I wound up going with PDT? Any thoughts on this in general?

45min from PHL PDT should be on the top of (or close to it) your list due to that and the flow. Expect PDTs contract changes to be ironed out by the time you’re eligible to start the cadet program so you’ll have a better idea of how things will be as a newhire then.
