Pros

Before Pace bought Alpha Analytical, it was relatively easy to get hired to work here and train. Also plenty of opportunities to work overtime on days off in Organic extractions. most Overtime in WEt Chemistry was staying late

Cons

expectations for what you do in a shift are in my opinion higher than what you actually get paid working in these departments. a lot of grunt work at the samtime as the main tasks such as cleaning glassware and stocking chemicals on the shelves, sometimes even lifting boxes there is no predictability with what kind of task you will be primarily responsible for in your early stages at the company so some people are able to work 40 hours and are done. some will consistently be working overtime. Also the company is not expanding or growing when I was there and it takes a significant effort to get management to like you enough to promote you, and sometimes upper management does not allow that to happen. I do not recommend working here for longer than 2 years.

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.
