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!

Pros

Pay decent but not great for all the work you do

Cons

No training unless you consider watching someone do their job training. no guidance your just a number not a worker or part of a team. They lie and act like high school kids. and writes up are notorious.

Thank you for your feedback. At Fortera, we believe in continuous improvement so your input is welcomed. Our Training Department is always looking for ways to not only improve our training programs, but the follow-up hands-on-training new team members receive when arriving at their branch or department. Due to the special circumstances related to operating in a COVID-19 environment, any new ideas are always appreciated. If you would like to share your thoughts, please free to contact the Human Resources Department and we will be happy to pass them along.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. At Fortera, we do our best to strike a work/life balance with our employees but we also have to think about serving our members and taking care of their needs as they are the reason we are here. Fortera is believer in transparency and continuous feedback and our Training Department uses what we learn to update and adjust our onboarding and training programs to meet the changing needs of our team members. We realize we may still have some tweaking to do, but we are committed to making this the best training experience and work environment that we can for our team members.
