Is this your company?

While the flexible hours, remote work and unlimited PTO are all nice, the company does not seem to respect all employees - Content Strategist Ascend Learning Employee Review

Pros

Remote work, unlimited PTO and flexible hours

Cons

We are not paid for the amount of work we do. This company does not promote from within, but looks to new people to hire in management positions. They do not respect the ideas and skills of lower level employees particularly from the content strategists. There is no opportunity to move up and they are constantly trying to refine our processes but do so without asking for input from the employees who are directly impacted. I would not recommend applying to work for this company.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
