Pace Analytical reviews

Management Working atmosphere was fractured and distrustful at times, it made it challenging to feel like you could even trust what other analysts were reporting was even accurate. Even when I kept my head down and my voice out of any drama I was still scolded collectively and had privileges taken away for largely unexplained reasons. Morale was constantly low, despite our best efforts to go out for drinks once in a blue moon. I could honestly right an essay on the mismanagement of Pace. They never gave us a real manager, except for an overworked vindictive person who currently manages 2 Pace locations and obviously favors one. If I spoke up about something, the manager then would explain how great "her" lab was better at x,y,z (as if the one I worked in wasn't hers either). When pressed about the steps they took to bring their lab to that point, "oh I trained them" which is another point, training is 100% up to the coworkers next to you. If they don't care enough to train, you won't learn anything until QAQC comes around and shows you all of the errors you have made in the last 6 months.

- Low-ball pay - Standard, but expensive benefits. - The combination of strict regulations and rush due dates makes for a very stressful job. - Non-existent training turns the stress up to 11 for new hires. - Too many people sharing too few tools, and a general lack of private work space. - After a recent merger with another lab, it seems like everyone at my location has some kind of axe to grind. - The employees are a mixed bag of noobs, transfers and old-timers. As with most workplaces, the people who have been there the longest are the least friendly and approachable.
