Great people, low pay

Pros

There are some really great people that I work with. They work as a team, and work hard every single day. We never have to our work home with us, and once the day is done it is done.

Cons

I am sure that other employees at PAE are paid very well, but not the contract I work with. Management constantly talks about cutting hours, even for full timers, yet ask the employees to work harder, faster, and more accurately. I have been promoted twice with no raise. I am given more responsibilities, I am authorized to teach new employees, however I still have not been given a raise. Benefits are "meh" as management admits that employees will pay %100 for their benefits and part timers are no longer eligible for benefits. If a work week is going to be slow employees will literally be FORCED to choose a day off work for that week. Doing this nearly forces an employee to take vacation time because we can not afford to lose 8 hours of pay. If an employee has no vacation time, they will lose 8 hours of work. Management expects us to act like professional career adults yet treat us like children. Apparently, the most senior employees have not received a pay raise in 10 years!!!

Questionable Ethics

Pros

Lots of challenge and work to do. No lack of opportunity to learn new things

Cons

Questionable Ethics. Top leadership very insulated from the business, not connected or emotionally available. Lots of favorites and Friends of Friends being hired, edging out others. Had a tendency to use a vendor, then drop them like a hot potato without paying the bills. it got hard to look in the mirror and admit I worked there..
