Great Opportunities with a Growing Business
Pros
The business is profitable and growing rapidly, safety is given a high priority, and there is a strong focus on costs. Its fast-paced and challenging. There is a strong leadership team in-place and a dedicated workforce. Ascend is investing in the plant every year. There is pay for performance so if the Company does well, you do well. There's little bureaucracy and I feel that I can advance here. Compensation and benefits are in-line with the chemical industry.
Cons
The corporate leadership team changes frequently, for various reasons. Not sure if this is good or bad but there is a lot of turnover. The biggest con is the Solutia bankruptcy before Ascend bought the business, resulting in several challenges being addressed by the current leadership team. This plant used to have a 9/80 work schedule and they should reconsider it, in order to upgrade their mid-level talent.
