Pros

Pay and benefits are okay Housing good for contracting 48 days paid R&R

Cons

The company does some shady practices You may have a TCN as a boss that has a fraction of the knowledge you do working to support US embassy. Had uplift and then lost it due to it not being in the contract. Expected more for less, not a reality based request. you get more for more and less for less. Mangement promotes suck ups over the actual workers. Management not well trained to be a leaders. double standards. Had no active plans in place for people drinking on the job.

Low Pay

Pros

My coworkers make work more enjoyable, and I really enjoy doing the work itself, its a fun job and gets more interesting every day.

Cons

Low pay for as much work as you're expected to do. PAE likes to bid low so they win contracts but then they can't pay their employees what they're worth. Their contracts are jammed with all of these expectations, which is fine, but for the low pay it doesn't seem worth it.

Not the best

Pros

The contract I work on is decent. Pay is fair.

Cons

PAE corporate is disorganized. Onboarding was scattered and we are getting screwed compared to our prime contractor employees on site. They do the same job but they (XLA) get much better benefit options and flexibility with use of H&W.
