Pros

One of the main strenghs from Ascentis is the work enviroment, being able to work with great professionals across different departments gave me the opportunity to grow and learn during the years I've worked for the company.

Cons

Average comp and benefit package. Leadership team still hesitant about letting people work remotely, lack of clarity about this topic for a long time.

Pros

Benefits are decent. Many teams still have good and hard-working people that want to succeed.

Cons

Unless you are desperate for a job, do not work here! The product is incredibly outdated and while there has been a significant investment in the product, it is so far behind the times any improvements will never catch-up to be something competitive. Clients consistently tell you they were sold a Cadillac and were delivered a Pinto. Sales has to be deceptive for any sales to occur and then the client is stuck with something that barely works for them until they live out their contract. Executive Management touts 'Cultural Norms' which look great on paper but they themselves do not follow them. Unless you are a buddy to the 'leadership' team in the Minneapolis area, your career opportunities will be limited. Do you think hard work and dedication will provide a pay-for-performance environment with promotion opportunities? Nope. Each year during Performance Review season, Directors are given a small bucket of money to disperse - if you are liked, you get more. If you aren't liked, you'll be lucky to get 1-2% but they'll promise to make it up to you in coming years. That never actually happens. Over the past couple years, revenue has significantly decreased - both with new business and renewals. Clients are leaving as soon as their contract is up. Unless there are significant changes, many suspect this company will be bankrupt within the next 5 years.

We appreciate you sharing your perspective and are disappointed to hear the views you have on the company. We are on an ongoing journey to continuously nurture a strong employee culture, improve our solutions and strengthen client relationships and by and large, the outcomes have been very positive. We are excited about the progress we’ve made with our Products which shows in our solid sales performance. We’ve seen a 40% increase in quarter over quarter sales in 2019. Feedback at our annual client conference two months ago confirmed that clients too are seeing great progress in our solutions and continuing to grow their relationships with us. We are proud of our NPS score increasing by 27 points over the past year. We’ve continued to grow our teams and client base significantly through three strong acquisitions over the past nine months. We are proud of the recognition of our Minneapolis office recently received as a Best Places to work. We are equally proud of the fact that we’ve recognized 17 employees through major promotions this past year, of which 82% of all promotions were for employees working outside of the Minneapolis office. We know building a great enduring company is an ongoing process and would welcome further discussions on your thoughts and ideas on how we can continue to improve.
