Pros
This company could provide entry level jobs as a good foot in the door to the industry. They are nationwide so there are opportunities for internal promotions if you are willing to relocate. The CEO is personable and makes annual visits to his labs where he gives the people a company update and allows them an opportunity to ask him questions.
Cons
The benefits could use improvement. Many employees are overworked and underpaid. This company is in the business of acquiring smaller labs and either closing them or converting them to Pace labs. Senior corporate management does not have much communication with the lab during these transitions, even when making drastic changes, so the workers often feel left in the dark. They change their "business plans" on a regular basis and are secretive about everything so it seems like they are always scheming. At my location women have been harassed and discriminated against. In the past couple years three different people have been penalized due to pregnancy/maternity leave. Two of them were passed over for promotion and one was reassigned to a lower position after her return to work.
