  Horrible, horrible, horrible. I am a business owner and a participant in my plan. Can't get a live person on the phone. Can't access the website. Password reset features don't work. I used to have my 401K plan at Pai in *****************. They were wonderful. Ascensus is the exact opposite. If there was something lower than 1 star, i would give it. Seems like the only people who answer are sales people trying to sell a new plan to an employer who does not have a retirement plan. Look elsewhere if you're thinking about it. You will be very disappointed.

  I was amazed to learn Ascensus will not do a direct plan-to-plan rollover of 401(k) assets to an established IRA. I don't like the idea of having a check mailed to me - checks go astray; mail gets lost; checks get stolen. Now I'm on hold with them once again, and it's 1-1/2 hours and counting. I left a call-back number but no one returned my call. Disappointing to join the other 1-star reviews (because it isn't possible to leave 0 stars). I've dealt with a number of financial services providers over the years, and this is the first time I've felt compelled to leave a review detailing the impossibility of reaching a customer service rep and of accomplishing a simple goal.

  I submitted paperwork for withdrawal from my 401k account over two weeks ago. I called last week to see if paperwork had arrived. I was put on hold and was told wait was approximately 40 minutes. I waited for more than 1 1/2 hours and finally gave up. I looked online at my account early this week and saw withdrawal amount was subtracted from my account. Under withdrawal section it said I had no withdrawals and there was nothing anywhere that had info as to when withdrawal was subtracted and if check was sent out.. I called today and was told approximate wait time was 12 minutes. I chose the call back option without losing my place in line. I have waited over 1 hour with no call back. This customer service is atrocious.

  Horrible people to deal with!! File for a distribution withdrawal and been waiting for a month now to get the money. They need to balance a 6 dollar difference and it is taking forever with no communication when its fixed. This was a mistake on there part. I may pull out and roll my money somewhere else. Accountants who cant balance out 6 dollars? What a joke!!!

  HORRIBLE service. It shouldn't take two weeks to make a transfer from a company 401k to a personal IRA.
  In the time of ETF's and wires, this should take 3 days max! When I complained, the answer was, this is our std process. Well fix the outdated process! They apparently couldn't care less. and this wasn't from the peon.
  I would recommend ANYBODY else.

  The company I work with was recently transitioned to Ascensus. Really bad customer service. Before the transfer, it was easy to reach someone to have any questions answered quickly and efficiently. At Ascensus, it is impossible to get in touch with anyone. You will simply be on hold for eternity....

  The worst company I’ve dealt with. They keep charging you for work they barely complete and you have to do all the data collection.
  Their data sets are not updated so you have to start from scratch with the census every year. After plan termination in May 2023, due to sale of my business they charged me twice for plan termination and yearly services in full. A bunch of thieves!!!

  The worst customer experience imaginable. 1.5hr hold times to speak with the "Customer Care Team" should be the we dont care team. The supervisor/specialist shutting down my companies account specialist... did not even think that kind of wait was a bad thing.... plus the company drags its feet with endless excuses why they cannot distribute the $ to my employees and terminate the plan.... oh and charge 1800 dollars then cash the check and then say they didnt get it for 2 weeks after it cleared. Poorly run, miserably administered and managed company..... I would NOT sign up for their services..... They bought PAI which was a GREAT company and have ruined the experience. Too bad I cannot give ZERO stars.

  0 stars, but since I must leave one. I am filing a complaint with the **** against this company. They seem to play games with folks hard earned money. Its unfortunate that they haven't already been investigated to the point where an audit was conducted. I'm also looking to start a lawsuit or join one ongoing.

  Got them all the information needed for filing my Form 5500 eight months ago, and they still haven't done it. These people are terrible. They rarely respond back to email in a timely manner. They do nothing else in a timely manner. I literally don't understand what they believe they do to earn what I am forced to pay them.
