Pros

* Ascend is a start up in an established business, which means the potential to shape and mold the company at all levels is endless. I come to work, make suggestions, am told to implement my ideas and go home feeling satisfied with my contribution. * Great people - the culture is fledgling and not 100% consistent yet, but it's getting there. The people are collaborative, easy to work with, direct and open. Very few political games here! * The sky is the limit. I feel I can create my own role. I'm not siloed into a small hole and told to stay there - not territorial! * Pay is competitive.

Cons

* Don't pay for parking. * No flexible work schedule. * Can't cover my spouse on my benefits if he/she is eligible for his/her employer benefits.
