Pros

There is some flexibility with the hours, scheduling vacation time, and even allowing you to make up hours on occasion.

Cons

I worked at Pace just under two years, it was my first job right out of school. After a few months on the job I began to see that I made a mistake in taking the job. They tend to hire people right out of school, a few years out with little to no experience, or those who are desperate for a job so that they can get away with paying a lower salary, especially with the chemicals that you are exposed to. They would also take advantage of this fact and give you a high quantity of work. Do not expect to get much of a bonus (if you get one) or even advance within the company or even to another department. It is not worth being a starter job because when you try to apply for a similar position at another company they will want to start you off in a lower position or entry level. My supervisor was very unprofessional. She would talk openly about other employees, I once even overheard her talking about me, and when I confronted her about it she did not even deny that she did. She even yelled and threw a tantrum with a worker in front of other coworkers and another manager and was not confronted or reprimanded. One of the Core Values of the Company is to value the employee. This is merely to save face. If you ever told in the staff meetings that it is mandatory you have to take a certain amount of days off within a certain time span, layoffs are coming. This is what happened to me, I'd scheduled my days off for the following week. That Friday not even halfway through the day I was given my walking papers.

Pros

There's a lot of great people who work very hard. . . these people have no other choice and are enslaved in the HELL of Pace.

Cons

You are forced to use vacation time. Management forces good people to make unethical decisions regarding data by threatening your job. Online training is a waste of time and staff is pushed to do it on their own time. Everything is a number, including employees. 4 cent raises every other year if you are lucky. Micromanaged all the time and screamed at if something goes wrong and samples need to be reanalyzed. As a manager, if you tell them you will not report the data until the samples are rerun you are berated and get "a talking to" by the GM and QAO. Hopefully NELAC/DOH wisens up to their evil ways, if they look at the data I approved they will find a lot of red ink explaining everything.
