Pros

Reasonable benefits (but not free)

Cons

PAE is notorious for underbidding contracts, then putting the burden on the employees. Jobs that were once done by 2 or 3 separate persons then get assigned to one person. If that doesn't work, they go back to the owner and ask for more money. Be aware. Working for PAE will be the hardest job you ever had, until they lay you off because they under bid.

Pros

It was immensely rewarding participating on projects from start to finish.

Cons

Location was not my favorite. One way in, one way out, causes traffic getting on and off base. Base police are strict.
