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

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.
