      Pros

      Good people at the unit level

      Cons

      Company claims they're competitive with pay but they’re not. Every plant around pays more and has a bonus. No one even knows what a bonus is here. We used to have great health benefits but now next year they are forcing us into horrible health benefits and everyone is leaving from operations to engineers and upper management does not care. They still think that this place can run of procedures alone!

      Dare I say "Sweat Shop"

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Focus on community and the growth we've seen through a large number of acquisitions in a relatively short amount of time. Coworkers are great and small teams definitely have that family feel. The corporate office, as a whole, is quite diverse culturally.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, Ascend has always run very, very , very lean. This leads to a poor work/life balance, poor morale and quick burnout. Finding quality management seems to be an issue. There is a lot of turnover and no one is willing to fix the problem(s). Remember, people leave managers, not organizations! While the Corporate office is diverse, the leadership team is not. Still your standard gang of old white men. Women seem to have an extra hurdle to jump to get promoted or hired into higher positions.

      Pros

      Company had few good years in the past!

      Cons

      Company has performed very poorly this year. Company is letting go of people but a lot of good talent leaving on their own too.
