Their hope and optimism are empty. They immediately gut your benefits. They give you a raise because they cut your previous matching 401k by half. Their health insurance is a joke. Its awful with horrendous deductibles.
They did let you roll over vacation time but they changed that policy. They've also suspended evaluations and raises because of Covid-19. Then they did mandatory one day per week vacation use for the month of April to help offset the financial hit during the pandemic. They told us its to help prevent layoffs. So sure, no problem. Guess what? They turn around this week and announce they just purchased another lab to fold into the collection! Guess that's where our raises went.
Pace doesn't care about their employees. They make you feel worthless and insignificant.
If you work in this same field then stay away from Pace. If you love your job and your company announces Pace purchased them then start looking for another job because you won't be happy here.
