Pros

I had not previously worked in the financial services industry prior to join Ascensus but was immediately provided extensive internal training and educational resources to bring me up to speed with my peers. As a recent college grad, I have found Ascensus to be an excellent place to jump start my professional career. I have already attended 4 internal training courses and recently enrolled in a certification program (in which Ascensus has agreed to fund my participation). At my previous employer, the work environment was extremely competitive and individualistic. Here, associates have a team-oriented mindset and are supportive of one another's success. The internal associate recognition programs provide incentive to continue to work to the best of your ability.

Cons

Would like more opportunities to network with associates in different departments and learn about different functions across the company.

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.
