Compensation and benefits, our people and the improvements we've made in our safety culture often receive good feedback and we appreciate you sharing your positive experiences as well. Our markets have been volatile due to the pandemic and war in Ukraine, but in an effort to maintain bonuses, we restructured our annual incentive plan to include targets beyond earnings. If you have specific feedback on how we can do better in this area, please reach out to your local HR leader, we are receptive to your feedback. Thank you! - Tony Ferguson, communications team

Thank you for submitting your review. Our people and our compensation and benefits receive some of the highest marks in reviews, and we appreciate you sharing your positive experiences as well. Our front line leaders program and our leadership behaviors training are two areas where we’ve made significant investments of time and energy to help our managers be better every day. We’re not perfect but we are committed to improving, and we continue to invest to help managers and their teams work together at their full potential. -Tony Ferguson, communications team

Thank you for taking time to submit a review. While we are proud of our co-op/internship program and the valuable experience it provides both the students and Ascend, we also realize an internship can present challenges when it comes to communication. As you noted, we are definitely always working to improve, and would welcome any specific feedback about your experience that would help our engineers offer better support. Please feel free to reach out to me and continue the conversation. Thank you! - Tony Ferguson, communications team
