Pros

There are some very nice people that work there

Cons

The Human Resources Department will harass an employee if that employee reports an abusive supervisor. ASH has a no retaliation policy, yet employees are retaliated against and harassed and team members don't stand up for one another due to fear of that retaliation. Many teams are toxic. Raises are minuscule. Some supervisor are passive aggressive and like to yell at their teams. Compared to other companies I've worked at, ASH has fewer holidays than most other companies.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback on your experience working at ASH. The Human Resources team takes complaints seriously and follows a specific, approved course of action when complaints are brought forward. We do not want employees in any way to feel retaliated against by bringing a concern forward. If you would like to share additional feedback regarding Human Resources or our management team, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me personally. In regard to your comment regarding paid holidays, ASH has 11 paid holidays which is in line with industry standards. Providing a thoughtful, competitive benefits program, including paid time off and holiday pay, is important to our culture of health and wellness. I would be happy to set up a call if you would like to provide additional feedback. Kristin Bragg Vice President, Human Resources

Pros

Work From Home and Make Up Time

Cons

Favoritism, unproductive environment. The department I worked in had a QA who belittled people in the position they just got hired from. I mean said some really hateful things. One of the worst mistakes I made was wanting to learn more and applying for a position. The role paid $15 per hour and I lost every single merit increase I’d ever earned. I liked learning this new role but put myself into debt financially at home for it and now I’m no longer here because somewhere else offered me better money for the same job. There needs to be more improvement on the micromanaging, the culture, the PAY (I don’t care what the company’s research says, the job postings by similar companies say something different). This could be an awesome place to work but the pay and some of the people need to be reviewed. It was like a mean girl club where I was and it’s unproductive and not inclusive to people who are new making a few mistakes and still learning. A good portion of the supervisors are checked out and have no idea how to help you. They just show up because they get paid to be there for maybe 4-5 hours per day. This place needs to come together and needs to actually read the bad reviews and believe them and just focus on improving. Things can get better, the first step is acknowledgement that it’s not perfect.
