Pros

There are contracts for everyone, they will hire FNs before American Skilled workers.

Cons

PAE is an investment company, they owe the investors and not the workers. Shallow well of upper management which put a lemon in most mouths on contract. Having to pay host country tax while working on American Sovereign soil while all other companies working in the Green Zone bypass the tax. No uplifts for danger zone however cannot go out side the walls. Management would rather challenge someone than fix the issues that at their level is fixable. on and on and on.
