FORTÉ reviews

Work/life balance is not ideal

The benefits were mediocre, mostly very high deductible and the ESOP is only truly great if this is a place you plan to stay for the remainder of your career. Pay was on a similar scale, where competitors are paying more, but you aren’t getting payed poorly, either. Hiring for support roles was always a chicken and egg situation, as well, as they needed sales to go higher to support the headcount, but then couldn’t get sales higher without it. Management doesn’t really care to solve problems, just wanted revenue every single month. No understanding that large deals take time and approval processes are more complicated. Micromanagement was rampant from top to bottom. Work from home was nearly non existent as a result, even though we were supposed to be able to do so for some of the time. Training was laughable, at best, and required you to ask for help from coworkers until you learned a way to do it, which might not even be the “correct” way. This may have changed.
