Pros

In the Lab-ops division, Pace is very hands-off. You may have a monthly meeting, but in general, you will be working exclusively for your contracted employer, and Pace will have very little to do with it. (Beware, this also means that they will not see how well you're doing either). Good for entry level positions. There are lots of them, and Pace offers reasonable pay for people just getting out of college. (Not a lot mind you, but its a start) You start with 2 weeks vacation, which is rare for entry level jobs, and especially for contract jobs.

Cons

No career opportunities. Pace does not see how well you do. Pace will only hear about you once a year, in an annual review. They do not offer raises on merit, or promotions other than perhaps up to a Site Supervisor position (which is not much of an advancement). Its a contract that may or may not result in a hire for the company you're really working for. (Likely not, in my experience.) Miniscule, if any pay raises. My advice to future employees is to work here for a year, get a few good references with your contracted employer, fill out your resume, and get out. There is nothing left for you with this company after about a year. Do not let them string you along with "possible hire-on contracts).

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.
