Not a good place to work anymore... - Chemical Operator Ascend Performance Materials Employee Review

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits. Ascend is competitive for this area. They try to do a lot for the community, but it is only because they have such a bad image.

Cons

Management doesn't care about employees, HR is nonexistent, company policies are not plant wide. The negative atmosphere makes it not worth the pay.
