Terrible firm

Anonymous employee

Pros

They allow telework, however depending on manager you have to have an excuse.

Cons

Terrible firm, who lays off individuals then dumps the rest of the workload on existing employees. They use layoffs as an excuse to get rid of those they don’t like. It’s a modern-day sweatshop! Benefits are terrible and so is their PTO. There is no negotiating PTO because they state you are allowed to telework. Be prepared to always work.

AWFUL COMPANY TO WORK FOR.

Pros

NONE. There is nothing positive about this company. They don' t care about their employees. Very bad benefits. They don't pay employees a living wage.

Cons

I have been working as an government contractor for over 2 years. PAE bought out the former company FCI. It has been a challenge every since. Very low pay. They lured us in with a PPO healthplan that had a $35. 00 co-pay. When it came time to pick our new plans they used the fact that we are not union to stick us with a High Option plan that has a $2500 deductible. Do they not know what they pay us? They do not provide their employees with sick time either. I have never talk to or even met one person from Upper Management at PAE. They don' t respond to emails either. They don't care about their employees concerns. They just care about having someone in a seat so they can bill the government.

Only good for the clearance

Pros

You get a clearance. Only do the job for the clearance. Once you have it apply to as many other jobs as you can. Another company will pay you much more.

Cons

They lie to you about pay and literally everything else. THEY WILL CONSISTENTLY MESS UP YOUR PAY!!! Benefits are basic. No steady schedule. No raises or room to grow. No management support. Management is out of touch and extremely lazy. They also show a lot of favoritism. Treated like second class citizens. There is a a lot of physical demands without any breaks. High turn over. The worst part is that They all know how terrible it is...ALL OF THEM.!!! They refuse to do anything about it.
