Pros

Good pay, good benefits, most first line supervisors are competent, some work related travel to nice locations, 401(k) company contribution

Cons

Management depends too much on few individuals to accomplish the most challenging jobs, work related travel depends a lot on a good ole boy club relationship with certain managers, advancing is only possible when someone leaves that position so it could take as long as 15 years or as short as just being hired

Pros

Work on projects that make the world a better place. Chance to travel to multiple countries & meet new people

Cons

Everything, management is power hungry and will do everything they can to throw anyone under the bus in order to ensure they continue to shine. They make you work like a slave and don't even appreciate the long hours and effort one puts in to ensure PAE's success. The management needs to change, maybe then this company will become a better place to work!

Pros

There are some really great people that I work with. They work as a team, and work hard every single day. We never have to our work home with us, and once the day is done it is done.

Cons

I am sure that other employees at PAE are paid very well, but not the contract I work with. Management constantly talks about cutting hours, even for full timers, yet ask the employees to work harder, faster, and more accurately. I have been promoted twice with no raise. I am given more responsibilities, I am authorized to teach new employees, however I still have not been given a raise. Benefits are "meh" as management admits that employees will pay %100 for their benefits and part timers are no longer eligible for benefits. If a work week is going to be slow employees will literally be FORCED to choose a day off work for that week. Doing this nearly forces an employee to take vacation time because we can not afford to lose 8 hours of pay. If an employee has no vacation time, they will lose 8 hours of work. Management expects us to act like professional career adults yet treat us like children. Apparently, the most senior employees have not received a pay raise in 10 years!!!
