Great Job if you hate having off days - Operations Ascend Performance Materials Employee Review

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, job security

Cons

Horrible work-life balance. If you hate off days and hate spending time with your family then apply here because you will love your job. Management drags their feet on hiring maintenance, E&I, electrical and operations positions when they become available. If a management or engineer job becomes open those are filled almost immediately.
