Pros

This company could provide entry level jobs as a good foot in the door to the industry. They are nationwide so there are opportunities for internal promotions if you are willing to relocate. The CEO is personable and makes annual visits to his labs where he gives the people a company update and allows them an opportunity to ask him questions.

Cons

The benefits could use improvement. Many employees are overworked and underpaid. This company is in the business of acquiring smaller labs and either closing them or converting them to Pace labs. Senior corporate management does not have much communication with the lab during these transitions, even when making drastic changes, so the workers often feel left in the dark. They change their "business plans" on a regular basis and are secretive about everything so it seems like they are always scheming. At my location women have been harassed and discriminated against. In the past couple years three different people have been penalized due to pregnancy/maternity leave. Two of them were passed over for promotion and one was reassigned to a lower position after her return to work.

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.
