Pros

OK benefits. They used to be great, but they are now just OK. CEO is a nice guy, and seems to genuinely care about the employees, he even knows everyone's name. He will usually stop and talk to you and ask for feedback. If you speak honestly to him you will get a visit from your supervisor telling you not to tell him anything. The term used is to tell him that everything is rainbows and butterflies.

Cons

Terrible moral. This company used to be a great company to work for, but it has gone down hill in the last several years. After working hard for the company for over 7 years, advancing through many different positions, and filling in for many positions after others had quit, you would think that my pay would reflect what I had to offer the company and all of my knowledge of how to run different departments and tests would be of value. My last year working for them, I was outdone by somebody that was hired off the streets with no previous schooling or experience. That person was making almost as much as me after working my way up through the company all of those years. In short- it pays to know the right people. Your actual work ethic doesn't mean a thing.

Pros

Pace had an amazing work environment, the amenities available to employees were far beyond what was necessary for the job. Everyone was extremely friendly and worked well together when group work and collaboration was necessary. Truthfully I was looking forward to working every day being a part of this company! This job helped me realize my passion and helped me decide to attend college for environmental science.

Cons

I personally have nothing negative to say other than the location is quite out of the way for most of the people who worked there. I didn't mind the commute but it was a common topic spoken about in the workplace.

Pros

Good people but all had issues with upper management, and the company entirely.

Cons

Swapped ownership and no longer gives bonuses and, did not address harassment issues seriously enough to resolve it. Due to down sizes 20ish people were let go all who were part time. Injuries were followed with the firing of that person for “unrelated reasons” but seemed odd. I was also asked to do something that did not follow the guidelines I needed to follow incase of forensic use. And employee shouldn’t be asked to go against guidelines and it should have been handled by someone more experienced.
