Pros

Flexibility is the biggest pro of Ascend Learning. I do my work well and have never been questioned about using my unlimited PTO.

Cons

May 2024 the company started their re-org, which meant layoffs and that work being put on those still there. Chaos. Unhappiness. Confusion. Typical re-org feelings. Raises are 0-3% annually and bonus structure is 50% based on all brands hitting goal and 50% on your OKRs. At exceeded expectations/role model I only qualified for 60% of the 50% from my OKRs. Salaries are all over the place as well as competence. This isn’t marketing, it’s project management.

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Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems.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.
