      Pros

      It is easy to stay busy and easy to get involved in what could be considered business critical activities. The company seems open to rapid change (though often at the detriment of long term planning).

      Cons

      It's like walking into a time machine. The work force isn't engaged and won't embrace technology past the early 80's, the management technique is textbook lead by intimidation, and the underlying sexism at the office is so pervasive it's almost sickening.

      In our early days and years as company we have certainly made some mistakes, but over time we are growing better every day. A mistake we won’t tolerate though is any form of harassment. Please reach out to me personally (Malcolm at moneal@ascendmaterials.com, or 713-315-5795) to share your concerns if you are comfortable, or you can share them anonymously through our ethics hotline at 877-314-3994 or through the iAscend portal. Thanks, Malcolm

      So Sad!

      Pros

      I work with great people! It's pretty close to home. Pay is decent enough! I have a great manager! I like the work I do but thinking I should look elsewhere.

      Cons

      Oh there are so many. This used to be a great company, but it's just gone in the toilet and that is so sad. A bunch of rich dudes bought it and are proceeding to squeeze it for all they can get and dump it. Not valued at all as an employee by anyone above my managers level. Morale is crap and turn over high. HR is the worst ever. God Bless you if you go to work in AN2/3! No alternate work schedule, but we used to have and they took it away for no reason. Only 4 days emergency leave and sick time in a rolling 12 months. I am so mad at what they've done to this place and their A2E circus brainwash crap. I could go on forever!
