Pros

People and Culture Business goals Salary Time off Coaching and training Professional development Career opportunities Work from home/Hybrid Trust in employees Charitable Giving This company has truely been a unicorn in terms of how we treat employees and customers. Everyone at Forward is invested in the growth of the company and the employee. It has been a long time since I have been involved with a company that values all levels the way Forward does. This place has been amazing, I feel valued every day and my goal is to make a positive impact and grow with the company. Also they are involved with the community and make a sustained effort to support the causes you are interested in by providing an employer match plus "gifts" of donations that you can allocate to your chosen charity through Millie! I cant say enough good things about my experience. I will continue to recommend Forward to anyone who is motivated and wants an amazing place to work!

Cons

The speed of which changes are implemented can feel rushed, but the company is focused on moving forward and continued growth.

What an incredible and detailed review - thank you so much! Referring to Forward as a 'unicorn' made our day, and we're so happy to hear about your amazing experience here. It's music to our ears to hear that you feel valued every day and see we're invested in growing the company and our people. We really do believe everyone's contribution is important, no matter their level. We're also really glad that specific support like coaching, training, career opportunities, remote work flexibility, competitive pay, and PTO are such notable highlights for you. We so appreciate you mentioning our charitable giving efforts, too! We're really proud of our commitment to helping our communities and supporting the causes that matter most to our team members. You're right, things can sometimes feel like they move quickly as we focus on growth and moving forward. We definitely hear you on that, and appreciate your advice on scoping initiatives and iterating with timelines – that’s really helpful feedback as we continue to evolve as a company. We truly can't thank you enough for sharing such kind words and for recommending Forward so highly. We're so grateful to have you on the team!

Pros

Top-Tier Compensation & Resources: The company pays very well and genuinely invests in its employees by providing excellent resources to help us succeed. Incredible Culture & Team: My coworkers and team members are amazing, hardworking, and deeply dedicated. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and we do truly meaningful work together every day. Fantastic Remote Environment: The remote work setup is seamless and highly effective, making it a wonderful place to work from anywhere. Rewarding Leadership: As a manager, it is incredibly fulfilling to support my team, solve problems for our customers, and cross the finish line on major tasks. I feel genuinely lucky to be a part of this organization.

Cons

Learning Curve & Operational Complexity: The environment is very fast-paced, and the product itself is highly complex. It takes a significant amount of time to learn the ins and outs, which naturally makes managing the operations space a bit challenging. Heavy Manual Workload: There are a lot of manual reviews required, which can lead to an increased workload for managers. Growing Pains: Right now, there is a lot of reliance on "tribal knowledge" and navigating gray areas. As the company continues to expand, leadership will need to prioritize building more standardized, scalable processes to ease the operational burden.
