Pros

The satisfaction that all US expat in this contract despite issues with PAE worked diligently to satisfy the customer - USG.

Cons

Lack of real leadership, lack of ethics although the company have a robust SOP produced by a Sr. company ethics officer, it is not followed. PAE leadership violates host country regulatory laws & regulations to include financial disclosure laws. In many cases, avoiding to pay in country tax; a clear violation of the law. Veterans are belittled by Sr. leadership without regards of years of faithful service to the US, and in many case, the same leadership never served in the US Military. Religious persecution was the norm, I experienced it with one very Senior company leader. I was persuaded to resign my position or else. To senior leadership, employees were at the time, just a number and a means to make money for "overhead"......sad indeed.

Pros

Great working hours and plenty of time off. You get every other friday off (flex fridays) and many government holidays off with pay. There is a 10% shift differential for the night or mid shift. One of the highest paying jobs for aviation contract jobs in the country. No real comment on benefits since I am retired military and most of them are not needed.

Cons

The position I hold is a union job and quite a few people working there are less motivated to produce based on union protections. The location is a hot and desolate place which might be hard for some people to deal with. Not a lot of room for professional development but there are opportunities if you stick around long enough (years) and get some seniority with the union.
