Pros

- Solid Monday-Friday hours w/added flexibility to change to your schedule. - Great management team. - Coworkers typically keep to themselves unless you really need to collaborate with them. - My position isn't micromanaged and I'm free to do my job from clock-in to clock-out entirely on my own. I only ask for help when I need it for complex transactions. - Great work/life balance and coworkers are usually there to help whenever you need it. - Amazing opportunities to move up within the company. Since they're growing at a fast/stable rate, new higher-up positions are opening at a great pace. - I can see myself being here for several years if not a decade or more.

Cons

- Older population of coworkers can get a little snobby & refuse to answer your questions/train you well. Sometimes they'll even pin that on you. - Directors are overpaid to just be a figurehead. When deadlines approach (i.e. for 5500's) they will tell you to work more, without helping out. - They need more healthcare options though there are adequate choices already. - Work can get boring, BUT it's great for those who like predictable days/tasks. - Pay could be better and slightly above market average especially due to the responsibility we have with handling someone else's funds.

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.
