Pros

As the company grows and hires new people. I love watching the culture grow at Forward Financing.

Cons

Not having that daily in-person contact with co-workers to bounce things off of. Zoom and Google Chat are not the same as in person.

Thanks for sharing your feedback - it's great to hear that you enjoy seeing our company and culture grow! We do recognize that virtual meetings are not quite the same as daily, in-person contact, but just know that keeping team members connected and engaged is a top priority for us as a company. We also hope that you take advantage of going into the office when you can and participating in different Forward events where you can mingle with your coworkers.

A disingenuous culture

Pros

Many benefits and they allow you to expense food and supplies.

Cons

Everyone seems so disingenuous that it is difficult to know whether you can truly trust your peers and manager. Executives and management seem like they are constantly patting each other on the back while things feel forced and unnatural.

Pros

FF is growing and has a fast paced work environment. We continue to reach new heights and I think the primary driver of that is our team and overall company culture. Everyone is very supportive, positive, and hard working and it is infectious. I truly love my job and the team we have here. FF has great benefits that include (but aren't limited to) healthcare, dental, gym reimbursement, career development trainings, and 401k match among many other things. The company culture and team building events are second to none. We've had fun team dinners, Boston sports games, and company parties/events at a lot of fun bars and venues around Boston! While that is all great, I think my favorite part about Forward Financing is the career opportunities you have here. They really want everyone to grow within their roles, develop skills, and grow professionally. If you work hard you will be promoted and rewarded for it. I'm excited to see where FF goes over the next few years! I can't speak highly enough about this company.

Cons

There are growing pains as we continue to increase sales and headcount. However, this is a good problem to have and is certainly better than stagnant sales.
