Pros
- CEO is the best I've had the pleasure to work for. Joe is an outstanding thought leader who has built a heck of a company. Kudos to Joe and the rest of the executive leadership team. First class, salt of the earth folks. - Best commission plan I've seen in staffing (BY FAR). Fai and easy to comprehend. - Those at the Managing Director level have grown into exceptional leaders and continue to evolve as champions for success, very exciting to witness. - Metrics and KPIs are sensible and attainable ways to be successful. - You absolutely do not feel like just a number here. Take it from those who have worked in enterprise staffing companies, Ascent is as boutique/family atmosphere as you'll find. - The VP and CEO have both personally given the better part of the last year developing a new training platform for ALL employees. There's an obvious emphasis on newly hired, recent college/first job in staffing folks, but that should be expected. With that said, there is a brand new training portal for all levels of experienced that everyone has 24/7 access to.
Cons
- Growing pains as the company makes the shift from small to a mid-sized enterprise staffing firm. This isn't really a con in my opinion, but those who oppose this type of positive change made (hence the past tense) the environment unbearable at time. - There were a lot of folks who didn't want to be pushed or managed to a set of KPIs that have proven to yield success, thus creating a sometimes complacent and frustrating environment (see recent negative reviews).
