Pros

Here are just a few of the many Pros of working at Ascend Learning: - Celebrates diversity and embraces unique perspectives. - Ensures everyone has a voice that is heard and valued. - Encourages staying ahead of the curve with new technologies and strategies. - Fosters a culture of pushing the boundaries and continuous improvement. - Prioritizes flexible working hours and remote work options. - Respects personal time and understands the importance of well-being. - Offers a sense of unity and mutual support among team members. - Leadership is approachable, invested in employee growth, and leads by example. - A community where employees can thrive both professionally and personally. - Offers a comprehensive benefits package that enhances employee satisfaction and well-being - A company that cares about its people and their contributions.

Cons

There aren't many Cons for working at Ascend, but here are the few I can call out: (I will say they are making changes to improve these roadblocks) - Difficulty in exploring projects beyond the defined scope of work. - Challenges in gaining exposure to different facets of the company. - Sometimes there can be limited opportunities to pick up new skills outside of one's current role.

Pros

Pay is decent, not great. Fairly reliable but minimal annual cost of living increase. Unlimited PTO may seem enticing, but those who take too may will be "talked to." Most work is remote. The published Company Values are great, but not everyone models them.

Cons

Leadership doesn't exist. Very top-down approach to "management" and the use of SAFe® Agile makes is NOT REAL AGILE. Quality and user experience take a back seat to hurry-and-get-it-done. Contacting HR for any reason makes you a target and leads to retaliation, not resolution of the problem. If you're looking to grow a career in leadership, go elsewhere. Seek out the types of leaders you want to learn from. Diversity is lacking among leadership, too - the top ranks are all male and predominately white and many worked together previously. Pretty sure there are no women in leadership on the tech side.

Pros

the few nice people, not working weekends, getting a check

Cons

Not sure where to even begin.. this is by FAR the worst place I've ever worked... the mental drainage from this place will send you in a spiral... management was never available to help, team is bias and will talk behind your back, consistent tech issues and old age technology.. No one ever knows whats going on- constant changes in B2B when money is not being made, overworking staff and UNDERPAYING staff and will disguise it as "getting mire experience".. they tend to cross train almost everyone here so they dont have to hire more people, or pay the current more. Its a chaotic disaster, and not shocked if this place starts losing money to its competitors.
