Ascensus is a caring place to work

Pros

Ascensus is a great place to work if you are not afraid of hard work and it's important to you to believe in the services your employer provides to its clients. Ascensus cares about helping people save for retirement, helping employers offer robust retirement plans and helping our partners create a success product.

Cons

The retirement industry has many regulations defined by the DOL and IRS. This makes the business very complex and ongoing training is required. Add in the various partners that Ascensus supports and it makes for a challenging environment.

Pros

There are very few.. Some very good people work there but that is all I can really say that is positive.

Cons

Most people there have been promoted into position that do not have any experience. There is no vision. IT systems are the most convoluded and just are a mess. There is zero methodology or SOPs everything is the wild west. Full on panic mode all the time. The pay is some of the lowest in the market. Also most people have been there so long Ascensus is all they know.

Core Values are a joke

Pros

Good time off policy, Nice people work there

Cons

Bad benefits, Executive team has core values but does not live by them. The values are interpreted for the "flavor of the month". Promotions are given only to the favorite employees. Employees are not able to post for jobs are they are filled by the favorites. IT department is lacking and therefore client service and operations are required to do much exception processing manually. if you make a mistake, you are in trouble.
