Pros

Work with some great people. Outside of the internal scholarship portion, Ascend Cares is really cool.

Cons

Constantly increases work load, but does not compensate for the additional time or sacrifices made to achieve this. Very poor bonus structure (assume you won't get it if you are comparing offers). Horrible cost of living adjustments (assume it to be half of inflation).

We know that work/life balance is a critical factor when it comes to having a successful company and engaged employees. It’s a topic that we take seriously and one that’s discussed often among leadership because of its importance. Every employee should feel the freedom to discuss workload and job expectations with their manager and agree on a healthy balance for their role. If you feel that you are not receiving this consideration, please reach out – I can connect you with a leader who does care and is open to your suggestions on how to improve. -Tony Ferguson, communications team
