      Pros

      The transparency between leadership and the employees is refreshing. Company wide meetings are hosted monthly, where the leadership team provides company updates and upcoming objectives. These meetings always conclude with a live Q&A with the leadership team. The common theme throughout most of the reviews you will read is Forward's culture. As a remote workplace, the P&C team does an incredible job of creating an environment that keeps employees feeling motivated, engaged, and fulfilled. Within my direct department, all of the managers I have worked with are committed to the growth and success of the individuals on their teams.

      Cons

      With any fairly new business, there will occasionally be some growing pains, but the leadership team is very quick to address and correct any issues.

      Best company that I have worked for in my career

      Pros

      I have worked at Forward for a few years and can honestly say it is the best company that I have worked for in my career! The company cares about the well-being of employees by allowing them to choose where they work best - whether that is from home or the office. They also provide a wellness allowance each month that can be used towards fitness, your home office, or commuting. During my time at Forward, I've had to opportunity to be involved in several different projects and initiatives. Each day at work is different and I feel like I'm constantly evolving and learning new skills.

      Cons

      Nothing comes to mind at this time.

      A Dispirited Experience: A review of Forward Financing

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Teammates, benefits, ability to wfh

      Cons

      First and foremost, the management at Forward Financing was utterly inept. Decisions were made haphazardly, with no clear strategy or vision. This lack of direction resulted in constant changes and inconsistencies, leaving employees feeling lost and demoralized. Communication within the company was abysmal. Important information was often withheld or disseminated inconsistently, leading to confusion and frustration among team members. The sales tools provided by Forward Financing were below average, to say the least. They were outdated and clunky, making it difficult to effectively do our jobs and achieve sales targets. Technical problems and failures were rampant and had been ignored for years. Despite repeated complaints, management failed to effectively address these issues, leaving employees to struggle with outdated and broken technology. The company’s relationship with business partners was poorly managed, leading to missed opportunities and strained relationships. The HR side of the business breeds the fear of repercussions amongst employees, stifling any semblance of open communication, with employees hesitant to voice their opinions or concerns for fear of retaliation. The lack of transparency and fairness within the company has created a culture of mistrust and unease, making it increasingly difficult to thrive in such a hostile work environment. Overall, the organization was not a healthy environment. I would not recommend joining Forward Financing.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. As a former employee, we are disappointed to learn that you feel this way about your experience. At Forward, one of our core values is to Keep it Real. We strive to be as transparent with our team as possible, providing regular business performance updates and communicating our progress against our short-term and long-term goals in bi-weekly company huddles and quarterly town halls. The management team at Forward often needs to make quick decisions with the information they have and occasionally pivot in order to reach our objectives. As an example last year, the company navigated through ups and downs, but the decisions that were made enabled us to exceed expectations. We wouldn’t have been able to achieve this success without our phenomenal team and leaders. We continue to progress on our technology journey. We have multiple teams and initiatives focused on enhancing our technological capabilities and have recently hired a CTO to help drive our technology growth. Creating an inclusive and welcoming culture is paramount to us, and our People and Culture team works diligently to foster such an environment. We have numerous venues for team members to share both direct and anonymous feedback and our leadership team takes this feedback very seriously. It's because of feedback and our ability to take action on it, that we are able to continue to enhance our organization. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. We wish you all the best.
