Hectic schedules, toxic and exhausting atmosphere - Sales Associate Ascend Performance Materials Employee Review

Pros

The pay is decent, and we get decent raises regularly.

Cons

The work environment cam be hostile and toxic sometimes. But I can't blame the employees for being hostile toward one another, given how exhausting and stressful the work environment can be. My ci-workers and I are all overworked, and the managers always fill our schedules! The company seems to lack manpower, and I hope the leadership will realize that and hire more people.

Work/life balance is a value 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 in this area. I'm sorry to hear you did not have a good experience in this area, but if there are more specifics on how you feel we could improve, please reach out to me at rfergu@ascendmaterials.com so we can share confidentially with the appropriate leaders. Thank you for taking time to submit your review. -Tony Ferguson, communications team
