Pros

Decent wages and average benefits for this company. Helpful co-workers with years of experience, knowledge and dedicated to their jobs.

Cons

HR Dept rules by Intimidation, Harassment and Bullying techniques to cover up the lack of knowledge on how to handle day-to-day answers. Employees should be able to go the HR Dept with confidence that their issues are held in the utmost confidential manner. NOT IN THIS DEPARTMENT.

Feedback on the HR team is important to me as I have responsibility for this team. I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your experience if you are comfortable reaching out. My direct contact information is moneal@ascendmaterials.com and 713-315-5795 office/direct. Understandably, you might feel more comfortable talking with someone outside of HR; in that case I have every confidence that any of the leaders in Decatur are open to hearing your concerns directly. All the best - Malcolm
