Pros

The people you work with daily " boots on the ground" people per say are amazing. You spend so much time out there working endless overtime due to poorly run processes and and general RTF attitude that you cant help but to become close. Ascends workers were far more that friends they were family.

Cons

After the Finacial company took over you could see the huge difference. Everything no matter how critical the process is treated in a run it until completely dies then lets rush and spend excessive amounts of money to fix it fast instead of just planning accordingly and actually taking the downtime to properly fix things.
