Pros

It is an ok salary.

Cons

The Titanic was a better ride. They only had one captain that sunk it. Ascend has a CEO and eleven VP’s who steered the company straight into Chapter 11 with really, really bad decisions. The company is top heavy managers who manage nothing but usless workload for subordinates. Also topped with a load of non value added employees with made up roles, then they add Sr to the title as to make it seem important. Gonna be interesting to see how they come out(if), with the same plan that got us here.
