Pros

The people at Ascend are absolutely fantastic. Most people would be willing to go out of their way to help you. There have also been efforts to improve the safety culture at the plant. The salary is decently competitive enough for the area and the benefits seems to be roughly at or slightly below industry standard (mostly because of no 9/80s). It is a rather fair compensation package.

Cons

Take the reviews with a grain of salt as negative reviews seem to be trimmed or all together removed. The safety culture is very poor with a habit of finger-pointing for process safety incidents. There is a general atmosphere of high stress and uncertainty due to a recent reorganization. A fair amount of employees have left recently, either willingly or not. There is very little communication about why certain long-term employees suddenly had empty offices at the end of the day. No alternative work schedules available for engineers. The Technical Career Path also progresses very slowly and encourages people to leave to advance their career.
