Great Place to Work

Pros

Great place to work. Work life balance is excellent, typically no need to work more than 40-45 hours per week. Managers are very good about employees using PTO. Company went fully remote a few years back. They do have an office but there is no pressure to go in besides a few times a year. Benefits are great. Every employee gets a monthly stipend to be used on things like fitness, work supplies and commuting expense along with an annual professional development allowance. Company culture is strong and most of the people at the company are very easy to work with.

Cons

Pay isn't the greatest and you will have to fight for any raises. Paths to promotions aren't always clear. Company is still growing and there are some growing pains that come along with that.

Great Culture & Bold Benefits

Pros

I have loved my time at Forward Financing and continue to enjoy the great culture that led me here in the first place. In particular, I really enjoy the company’s dedication to the continued learning of its employees. The company continues to push me and those around me to take classes and explore various certifications. In this way I feel that the company and my direct manager really care about my career advancement and personal goals.

Cons

As with any company of this size, we are always exploring new ways to continue to innovate our processes. This adds a unique complexity at certain times when you have to “relearn” something you had previously known. However, it’s all in the name of getting to a better end state, which I’m happy to be a part of.
