Pros

Culture is number one at Fortera. They walk their talk, and in everything they do, they keep their employees top of mind. It is refreshing to finally work for a company that gets it. Also, Fortera's benefit package is awesome and depending on the job, the pay is close to the top in the market. They really do a good job taking care of their employees. This is a great place to work. I really do feel lucky to be here.

Cons

If you are uncomfortable with change, Fortera may not be a good fit for you. They are super innovative so it feels like things move quickly.

Thank you for taking the time to review Fortera. We are glad you appreciate the great benefit package we have put together and have worked hard to create and maintain a positive culture in order to attract and retain the best talent. (and we believe we have some of the best talent out there). Things do move quickly here as innovation and change go hand-in- hand, but we try to communicate changes to our team members as early and often as possible. Thanks for being part of the Fortera family.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We are glad that you enjoyed our benefits and our casual work environment. We take discrimination and retaliation claims very seriously and have policies in place to protect our team members from both. Team members may either bring an issue to HR or use our whistleblower hotline to anonymously report these types of situations. Our recruiting team is working diligently to fully staff the organization in order to provide the best member service we can. If you would like to discuss your experience and any challenges in greater detail, please reach out to Fortera’s Human Resources Department.

Pros

Great people, good benefits, good reputation in the community

Cons

Organization leadership has a tendency to move employees around from one department/position to another -- which may or may not be related to the position/department the employee was originally hired into -- without the employee's input or buy-in. The employee is just told that this is what's going to happen, like it or lump it. Even when the employee brings up concerns about it, those concerns are pretty much brushed aside with lip service to the core value of "one team" -- e.g., each employee is a cog in the wheel and it doesn't matter if the employee is happy or not, as long as the organization gets what it wants/needs. I thought this would be the company I would stay with until retirement -- in the department I interviewed with/was hired into. Then I was blindsided by being told one random day that I was being moved out of that position/department to do something completely unrelated in a different department. It was a demotion in all but pay grade and made me feel like a *human resource*that could just be plugged into any "job" rather than a person with my own goals and passions and desire to build a career.

Thank you for taking the time to review Fortera. We always love to hear the people love our benefits and think highly of their coworkers! As we grow and develop as an organization, sometimes that means our leadership team makes the decision to reorganize our departments and our teams to best serve the needs of our members. We work diligently to ensure that our team members know of the change, the reasoning behind it and encourage them to be excited for the next step in their Fortera life!
