Life at Ascendium
Our Culture
We strive to cultivate a positive culture where employees feel valued, supported in their work and confident in their roles.
Helping people achieve their dreams is joyful work, and that joy is reflected in our interactions with each other. We treat each other with respect, clearly communicate, act with integrity, work together, encourage innovation and celebrate successes.
That joy also spills over into a fun and relaxing environment. We're not above paper airplane folding contests, favorite T-Shirt days, companywide bingo games and miniature gardening contests, among other things. No matter your interests, we'll have an activity or event you'll want to participate in.
"I believe in the impact Ascendium’s mission to champion opportunity has on communities. Being able to support the organization in this mission is rewarding and made even more gratifying by the people I’m privileged to work with. Each day provides opportunities and challenges we meet together."
