Pros

The benefits are okay, not that great. But they are better than having none obviously. The people you work with are great, and the schedule can be fairly flexible. Good for learning the basic skills needed to perform at a semi-professional level.

Cons

Basic employees are not recognized very well. It is not easy to move up in your job positions as the upper management is pretty much locked in place. The pay rates are okay, but requiring a college degree, you would think it would be a little better. Working with the chemicals here is very unhealthy for you, and the ventilation and fume hoods appear to help a little. The bosses don't seem to care to much about who works there, thinking everyone is replaceable. However, everyone has something to offer that others don't.

Pros

Pace had an amazing work environment, the amenities available to employees were far beyond what was necessary for the job. Everyone was extremely friendly and worked well together when group work and collaboration was necessary. Truthfully I was looking forward to working every day being a part of this company! This job helped me realize my passion and helped me decide to attend college for environmental science.

Cons

I personally have nothing negative to say other than the location is quite out of the way for most of the people who worked there. I didn't mind the commute but it was a common topic spoken about in the workplace.

Pros

Good people but all had issues with upper management, and the company entirely.

Cons

Swapped ownership and no longer gives bonuses and, did not address harassment issues seriously enough to resolve it. Due to down sizes 20ish people were let go all who were part time. Injuries were followed with the firing of that person for “unrelated reasons” but seemed odd. I was also asked to do something that did not follow the guidelines I needed to follow incase of forensic use. And employee shouldn’t be asked to go against guidelines and it should have been handled by someone more experienced.
