We got a ficus tree from another office. It had a hideous scale problem that I treated w/ Neem and Merit 75. It's got a problem with leaves yellowing and dropping off, I'm wondering if we're starving it for light or something. Does anyone here know how to grow them and have any tips?

Ficus trees are notorious for not liking to be moved. Place it where it's gonna be and never move it again. Don't even rotate it so that the other side faces the sun. They will drop their leaves whenever they are disturbed. Feed and water as needed. Good luck!
