Pace Analytical reviews

Analytical chemistry is pretty boring Unless you hop around departments, you will be doing quite a bit of the same thing without much variation. This is boring to me.

I don't know if every location is the same, but I worked in the Billings, MT lab. There was no real on the job training plan in place, though there was an entire series of fairly worthless internet training that Pace wants its employees to take (which really just interrupts getting meaningful tasks accomplished). The Billings lab has been through a long series of name changes with no real improvements made to the equipment or facilities. Things broke down at an alarming rate,and there was very little outside support to correct those problems. Software was very glitchy, so a good deal of my time was spent attempting to correct glitches. For a variety of reasons (not good reasons, mind you) I we printed out several reams of paper each day. A good deal of that paper went straight into the trash. If they were to do a good analysis of their processes, it would save the company a lot of resources & $. Maybe then they could take better care of their employees. Wages were poor; cost of health benefits was unreasonable.
