Pros
Great people with leadership driven by goals of financial success & nurturing a successful work culture while achieving financial goals. Work Life balance is lived not just talked about. Time off policy is liberal. The organization is service minded and provides employees the opportunity to serve in the community. This is also the only organization where when I have traveled for business or meetings I have been encouraged to take some time to see the city where I was traveling to.
Cons
Any cons I could cite, for NHA, would really fall within the realm of normal for any organization. Overall, the leadership of our division of Ascend strives to make this a great place to work. From an Ascend perspective, the shared services model for technology makes it hard for smaller divisions to get the resources they need. It would also be great if there was more focus on the smaller divisions where there is still great growth opportunity vs. the largest division that has an immense amount of market share and penetration. Overall the Ascend organization is positive and feels like one where ongoing improvement is sought after and culture is important.
