Life at Ascendium

We support our employees in doing and being their best.

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.

"Ascendium's mission to champion opportunity is more than just a catchphrase. It permeates every level of the organization. During my journey here, I've been given the opportunity to grow and meet personal goals. Ascendium has supported my wellbeing at every step along the way. Accepting a position at Ascendium is one of the best decisions I've ever made."

"When I made my most recent job change, I considered a few different offers. While the compensation packages were close, Ascendium's benefits outweighed everyone else's. The student loan reimbursement benefit especially was the icing on the cake. It's making a huge difference in me meeting my financial goals."
