Pros

Dynamic market. Much opportunity to learn and grow your skills. No boundaries. Can make the job as big as you would like. Good people.

Cons

Due to size sometimes limited resources. Dynamic environment with changing priorities. Planning is not on a long term horizon. Company prides itself in being nimble and changes directions as the market dictates.

Do you have thoughts on how we can delegate more? Are you/your team able to take on more, or are you at full capacity? We agree that it's important to think long-term. Help us be better. We can get there with your input. Thank you. Feel free to send any comments to Ally Jahn, ajahn@ascendmaterials.com. She shares whatever you ask (equally: requests to keep comments private, she does not share) with management. Thank you for helping us be better. Keep the comments coming.
