Pros

Benefits, pay, wellness program, and mostly friendly employees

Cons

Management does not give feedback until they are being pressured by their manager when things turn out poorly and then the tension is taken out on bottom rung employees. Leaders intentionally under spend on projects and then wonder why things turn out poorly and dysfunctional. Communication within the corporation stinks. Document management is nonexistent. There's a sense of only a few people being really knowledgeable about the process and these individuals will not share info unless poked with the right questions and they may help you or they may not (this may be related to the mass layoffs in 2008 which left many of the employees bitter and constantly attempting to justify their jobs).

Pros

I have only been with the company a short while, but have been extremely impressed with the people and leadership. Ascend is long-term focused on insuring every employee has a great leader. Some quality leadership changes have been made to help challenge employees to grow and develop their skills which will create a win/win for employees and the company.. The company has great benefits, wellness focus, employee culture, and engaging spirit. Ascend is positioned for a great future and growth with many opportunities for current and future employees.

Cons

Nothing significant that I have seen thus far.
