Pros

Fast paced environment and fun culture.

Kontras

Unfortunately, this company is not recession proof and the minute the market dipped they laid off half of their employees. The management team sells this pretty picture during all the quarterly meetings with their goals, rapid hiring and their ability to have everything under "control". In reality, they do not know how to manage their funds and they could care less about their employees. The day people got laid off they terminated everyone's benefits including health insurance.... during a pandemic. It just goes to show that they are in a lot of debt with their investors and they do not know how to allocate their funds properly. It seems like a good place to work however they are unethical, unpractical and unstable. The biggest regret is not seeing this sooner....Good luck.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I understand your frustration and disappointment at the impact COVID-19 has had on our business, and I share that disappointment with you. Although many of the specifics in your post are not accurate, the fundamental truth is that our business has been hit extremely hard by COVID and the related impacts to the small business economy. While I do believe that we were poised to handle a recession like those that have come before, we were not prepared to see the majority of small businesses in the US close all at once as has happened over the past month. This situation is both unprecedented and unfortunate. Although we have been one of the few in our industry able to keep our doors open during this economic shutdown, we have not gone unscathed. I understand your anger and your disappointment. I am saddened to witness the toll that this pandemic has taken on the lives of our customers, our employees, our partners, and our families. Thank you for your dedication to Forward Financing and may you and your family stay safe. Sincerely, Justin Bakes

Pros

Top-Tier Compensation & Resources: The company pays very well and genuinely invests in its employees by providing excellent resources to help us succeed. Incredible Culture & Team: My coworkers and team members are amazing, hardworking, and deeply dedicated. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and we do truly meaningful work together every day. Fantastic Remote Environment: The remote work setup is seamless and highly effective, making it a wonderful place to work from anywhere. Rewarding Leadership: As a manager, it is incredibly fulfilling to support my team, solve problems for our customers, and cross the finish line on major tasks. I feel genuinely lucky to be a part of this organization.

Kontras

Learning Curve & Operational Complexity: The environment is very fast-paced, and the product itself is highly complex. It takes a significant amount of time to learn the ins and outs, which naturally makes managing the operations space a bit challenging. Heavy Manual Workload: There are a lot of manual reviews required, which can lead to an increased workload for managers. Growing Pains: Right now, there is a lot of reliance on "tribal knowledge" and navigating gray areas. As the company continues to expand, leadership will need to prioritize building more standardized, scalable processes to ease the operational burden.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! It is wonderful to hear you feel so supported through our compensation and the resources we provide. Crossing the finish line on major tasks and solving tough customer problems is only possible when we truly work together as a team, so I am glad you get to experience that camaraderie every day. We also love that the remote environment is working so well for you. That’s exactly why we bring the whole company together twice a year for our Forward Palooza events, in addition to individual team offsites throughout the year, keeping those team bonds strong while enjoying the flexibility of working from anywhere. We really appreciate your candid notes on our operational growing pains. Learning a complex product is tough, and relying on informal knowledge or heavy manual reviews adds a lot to your plate. Documenting those gray areas and building scalable processes is a major priority for us as we continue to grow, and your feedback helps highlight exactly where we need to focus our efforts. Thank you for believing in our vision and for being such a wonderful part of the Forward team.
