Pros

My coworkers were mostly pretty awesome. It was nice to have people to talk to and hang out with everyday. They also gave a lot of pto and sometimes days were added throughout the year. Also a good place to start out esp. If you plan on staying in the industry. Also Bob G. He's great! One of the most personable president/CEOs I've encountered!

Cons

It's hard to have a career. Mostly it's job after job trying to find a way up the ladder. If you do well at your job they'd rather have you stay in that role and train everyone than move up. I was losing confidence in myself and feeling that I was not valued. Luckily I moved to another company in the industry that values me and challenges me most everyday and I am so thankful.

Pros

Excellent manager and team with streamlined processes. Benefits are greater than what I have seen in a majority of other businesses. The IT team generally moves very quick to resolve issues. HR/Hiring team was very quick and informative.

Cons

Only have two monitors when three would offer more efficiency. Although many tasks have SOPs and guides, some guides might not be updated (IE I found a guide that had the incorrect naming convention for a file). Any study materials needed to obtain relevant professional credentials are not covered by Ascensus. Obtaining relevant professional credentials also does not provide you with any bonus. You must wait a minimum of 12 months in your current position before wanting to change/pursue other job opportunities at Ascensus. The career ladder, at least in the Compliance team, seems rather narrow and limited.
