Work/life balance is a value that we take seriously and one that’s discussed often among leadership because of its importance. Every employee should feel the freedom to discuss workload and job expectations with their manager and agree on a healthy balance in this area. I'm sorry to hear you did not have a good experience in this area, but if there are more specifics on how you feel we could improve, please reach out to me at rfergu@ascendmaterials.com so we can share with the appropriate leaders. Thank you for taking time to submit your review. -Tony Ferguson, communications team

Pros

Low SJW nonsense. Low pandering. Low political agenda driving and indoctrination. They don’t make you do mandatory social training that will make you want to blow your brains out.

Cons

Starting pay is good, but if you want it to keep up, you might have to twist an arm.
