Not For Me - Administrative Assistant Ascend Indiana Employee Review

I only lasted about 3 months until I thankfully found a new job. They were not transparent about the work schedule (remote vs in office) they required. They micromanage although they say they don’t and want daily reports of what was done that day. In addition, regardless of what you had on your schedule, every minute of every day had to be spoken for with what you were working on. They made me practice writing a summary report after reading an article. I have a masters degree and wrote a thesis. They then indicated I’d learn how to speak/write like “Ascend.” The first week my schedule was booked with back to back tasks and meetings with no room for bathroom breaks or lunch. I love what this organization stands for but hate how it’s run. There isn’t any room for individual’s to make their own processes and bring their talents to the team. I’m thankful basically every morning to not be there. I had to increase my anxiety medication while there and go into weekly counseling sessions.
