Pros

It’s okay paying for a remote job and they give you equipment. Some of the people working there are nice.

Cons

On a surface level Ascensus seems like a decent place to work but the call center is an average large financial services corporate type of call center. It’s bad, awful and will take its toll on your physical and mental health eventually. In the call center, every aspect of their motto is a cruel joke. You are constantly picking up someone else’s slack from another department or from somebody who didn’t feel like doing their work properly, sometimes at the financial detriment of a client. You have no downtime and the dysfunctionality of their vague processes, varying systems and increasingly more time consuming procedures gets more apparent the longer you stay. Unlike other call center jobs, there is no real way to get promoted out of the call center anymore, you just get work between calls. You may take on much more than your colleagues but your yearly raises are the same at 10-30 cents. They are perpetually acquiring business despite not having the manpower, hiring in droves right before busy seasons to keep service level agreements with inexperienced reps and losing two-thirds of them a year in. FYI - They solicit reviews shortly after training finishes. It’s not forced or checked. The reviews are legitimate and valid, but some of these "worked less than a year” people writing short one sentence reviews have in all likelihood only been there 2 or so months.

Pros

I just started with Ascensus 1 month ago and have been in training for 4 weeks. It has been a great experience so far. The people are great! They really do follow Ascensus's Core Values of People Matter, Quality First and Integrity Always. They do a great job in creating Team Comradery when most of the company is working remotely. The training really helps prepare you for your job and sets you up for success and the Trainers are awesome!

Cons

No cons to report so far.

Pros

Generous PTO if you lasted five or more years.

Cons

Everything else. Poor management, plays favorites, rewards people who play the game and then expect people passed-over for promotions to train their new bosses. Artificially inflate metric standards so it is impossible to get a max raise because it is physically impossible to meet the goals (partly company-wide so not even possible to control with personal hard work).
