Pros

Friendly Co-workers. Friendly, albeit inept, supervision. Reasonable hours. We got to eat chili once a year.

Cons

No acknowledgement of accomplishments. Expectations much higher than training permits. Expected lab techs to be proficient instrument repair techs. Weak links not held accountable for their shortcomings. Expected to pick up slack for aforementioned weak links. Direct supervision basically useless for any questions regarding methods or instruments, left to rely on senior employees. Lab supervisor extremely disrespectful (called employees trained monkeys) General air of indifference in regards to the correct way to do things (just get a result mentality) Left to flounder with no help when it was clear you were out of your depth. Expected to work overtime while supervisors left early. CEO liked to impart his political beliefs on employees during annual meetings. The chili was never that good.

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.
