Pros
The people with whom you'll work directly are usually creative and fun. Sometimes the content itself is engaging to work on.
Cons
I worked at this place for a long, long time, and it truly pains me to lay out these criticisms. It used to be a great place to work. This changed over the years. • The odds are against you really getting anywhere. True advancement is reserved for management types who are hired from outside (and who seem to leave within a year or three), and for a select group of “chosen.” Unless you happen to be one of the chosen, you’ll never crack the mystery of what leads to advancement, no matter how hard you work or how much dedication you show. • You'll receive lower benefits and wages than the industry standard—but on the plus side, you'll be allowed to queue up on the loading dock for a free ice cream sandwich or a taco or some barbecue once or twice a year. • If there is a downturn, the only way they know to deal with that is to lay people off. They just laid off about 15 people, and they have 13 job openings posted on their site right now. • Are you a professional writer or designer or account person? Well, I hope you like to sing, too. They will summon the entire company to muster in the lobby and sing to prospective or current clients. Because that's what sells a client on your content business—a bunch of humiliated employees singing. (No, I’m not joking. Yes, it is mandatory.) • Being that there is an individual owner, the politics and sucking up are nothing short of absolutely embarrassing. • Their website is slick, and they take great pains to make Pace look like Google. Pace is not Google. Pace is built in an old textile plant, and that’s an apt placement. Unfortunately, Pace has become a content sweatshop where creatives somehow manage to turn out some pretty good content for some high-profile clients.
