Headed in a downward spiral

Pros

Coffee , pay , and people that have been here before the new tyranny started

Cons

I have worked here for over 12 years, and this used to be a place where people wanted to work, near and far ....and only now, with the new management in place within the last four years, has this place Fallen to a new low. they have nothing but unrealistic expectations for engineers , safety, and operations . they believe in keeping everyone under their thumb, and leading by pointing a finger, and telling you what to do, then rather invigorating and empowering someone. the new management can't see out past their chest because it's stuck out so far, and until they decide to move on and ruin another perfectly good company this place will never be the same and will only keep going in the direction it is now. do not waste your time working here

Pros

At Ascend in Greenwood: the people are great, they treat others with respect and train new hires with care for the employee. There are great benefits and the pay is good too. This is by far the greatest manufacturing career in upstate SC. Work and home balance is pretty good so far, I am glad to be a part of the Ascend family.

Cons

Not much so far, as long as you study the training manual and apply your best effort you will do well in your job.
