Pros

- Good place to gain an experience. Better than hopping around every 6 months with a temp agency - Pace has their own environmental labs - They contract out to other companies (get to see experience other companies) without being tied to a temp agency - health benefits, 401k, holiday pay, time off - Some room for advancement within the company -Monthly meetings, even as a contractor. Helps keep in touch with Pace on a regular basis.

Cons

-Incredibly low pay, especially for contract workers. I was a bit shocked when I realized how the numbers compared across the industry. This is not a place to make a career if you want to make a good wage. This is a place to work up experience and move on. They're selling point is "we offer benefits and temp agencies don't!" Well temp agencies may not have benefits, but literally every other job pays better. -High turnover rate that would easily fixed if they just paid employees well. -I'm sure this is manager dependent, but I was not pleased how workplace bullying is handled within the company. - Us vs them mentality with companies they contract with. - Not a good place to work if you have you are experienced. A good place for a pit stop (which happens often) or a fresh college grad. - Health benefits sub-par

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.
