Fair place to start and move on.

Pros

Decent Benefits, autonomy and respected so long as you do the things expected of you.

Cons

Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Ascensus is constantly "Promoting" people to "New" endeavors that were perfectly handled by someone else prior. The redundancy in human resources is unbelievable and after three years I couldn't keep track of who did what, nor could others in the organization. There is very little if any, acknowledgement for a job well done and mediocrity is often not only accepted, but the norm. The folks running the sales organization take employees for granted and do NOT recognize talent. This Company has a ton of cash on the balance sheet but will not spend it to keep up with competition. This leads to Ascensus becoming a training ground for people to sharpen their skills and move on to much greener pastures.

Great place to start

Pros

The people are, generally speaking, fantastic to work with. A good amount of time off with pretty good flexibility as well. The 401(k) platform is fair and, when I was there, a decent match. I also found health benefits affordable, although at the time I was only paying rates for a single person.

Cons

Pay is low to start, but worse was the "raise" they gave me after a year. During my short tenure I consistently got rave reviews and praise, but upon trying to move up into a higher position was stonewalled because they required employees to be in a particular job for a certain length of time before even considering promotions.

Ok place for an office setting, ultimately Clichy management left sour taste.

Pros

Fun, friendly smart people to work with. Learned a lot about retirement plans and computer programs like Excel and Word.

Cons

Boring work, management sleeping around creating uncomfortable situations. Inappropriate IM's from management, poor raises, having to pick up the slack from co-workers having a social fest all day. Departments tend to treat other departments as rival companies by not sharing information that would help others.
