Ascend Learning reviews

Channels of communication are non-existant. Management wants nothing to do with the workers beneath them. God forbid you actually get promoted, because you definitely won't fit into their clique. Not to worry, you won't last long there. At least most of the management is gone at this point after the acquisition. The corporate culture of TesTeachers was toxic to the bone. TesTeachers held some very questionable business practices that made me incredibly uncomfortable working there. These would range anywhere from their "no refund" policy, to their plagiarized study material and even products that flat-out were non-functional.

No opportunities for career advancement - typically only promote from outside. HR "business partners" don't care much for employees. Constant issues with system infrastructure negatively impacts customers. IT leadership has been working to "right the ship" for over a year with only increased problems. Executive leadership is out of touch with individual businesses under Ascend, and only seem to care about making their revenue goals to appease the private equity company that owns Ascend. Acquisitions are poorly made and capital projects are poorly allocated through all the Ascend businesses.
