Pros

- The company is very eager to assign new responsibilities to everyone’s position. - Task depth and expansion happens very quickly for all positions. - The company supports employee training and development, when employees ask for resources to invest in skill development the company is happy to help. - All of the employees and welcoming and supportive of each other. - The culture of the company is progressive and close knit. - The company encourages company bonding with team building activities (paintball, escape the room) and month end celebrations. - My specific role allows me the opportunity to interact across multiple departments. - I have been given a large amount of responsibility for the amount of time I have worked here. - All employees work closely with and have access to the CEO and COO.

Cons

- Although you have the ability to gain more tasks in your role, department structures are quite flat. - The company is working towards creating clear job paths for employees because there currently is a low understanding of where positions lead. - The size of the company requires that everyone works 110%, which can be tiring, but is always recognized. - The office building is a bit old.

Pros

- The "open door" policy with the CEO, COO and VP's. They are all easily accessible and value employee's opinions, questions and concerns. - Upper management is transparent with company developments - Room to develop in current roles - The company is reputable. It recently won the #2 spot for Boston Business Journal's Fastest-Growing Private Companies in MA. - It is a fast paced environment that is ever growing and changing with the industry - The thought that goes into making sure employee's are satisfied with working at Forward Financing is unparalleled to any other job I have previously worked at. Management genuinely cares about the overall culture and atmosphere both inside and outside of the office. A lot of effort goes into company events such as summer outings, holiday parties, happy hours, team building (ex: escape the room & paintball to name a few). - Forward Financing offers travel plans for the MBTA & uber in addition to great heath care plans. -Reimbursement is offered up to a certain amount for gym memberships. - It is easy to balance a work and social / personal life. Teams step up to the plate to assist when people are on vacation or out of the office. - Management is aware of safety / travel concerns with harsh New England winters and offer employees the option to work from home during storms. - Breakfast is delivered every Wednesday and Lunch is delivered every Friday - The office location is in the heart of the city. Easily accessible to the train & several shops and stores.

Cons

- The average age of the office is young. (24-30) and sometimes feels like an extension of college - Compensation could be more aggressive for certain roles.
