Pros
Large system and unique system Good 401k Free Trax pass
Cons
I had a manager that micromanaged everything. At one point in a team meeting my manager told my team we were not allowed to go to the break room together to get water of coffee. It killed morale in our group. We are salaried adult employees treated like children. PAC allowed us to work Monday and Friday remotely in my department, however my manager did not allow it because it would take away from his ability to micromanage. The SLC office is in very poor condition and feels like a windowless cubicle farm with no privacy. There are mice that will get into any food you have stored in your cubicles and the solution by facilities was to put mouse traps in your cubicle. I was told in my interview there was training and field visits available. My manager denied all of that every year. It’s very difficult to keep up with the industry as an engineer if you are denied learning opportunities. Communication and coordination between groups doesn’t exist, everyone just does things inconsistently. Junior staff isn’t developed and that can weigh down teams. PAC has adopted the sink or swim mentality and openly jokes about it in meetings with VPs and Directors. Feels like a true Warren buffet brand. Every thing is done so cheaply and it reflects in system reliability and quality of staff. The pay is marginal and isn’t great for SLC, you can get 50-70% more salary working as a consultant.
