Pros

-Very good benefits, that include annual professional development and monthly health & wellness stipends -Option to be fully remote with minimal pressure to go into the office -Strong culture -Most of the people here are great to work with

Cons

-Working hours are 9-6, which can be challenging for employees with families. Rarely have to work beyond 6 and taking time off is encouraged, though. -Things have been a bit hectic lately with new leadership, which is to be expected at first. Goals and direction are constantly being changed. -There has been a lot of turnover in the past few months, which I think has people on their toes -Compensation is average

Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience working at Forward! We're really glad to hear that you value our remote work flexibility and benefits package, especially the professional development and wellness stipend! It's also great that you're experience a strong culture with great coworkers. We appreciate you sharing the challenges, too. We understand that the 9-6 schedule can be difficult for families, and appreciate you noting that extra hours are rare and PTO is encouraged – finding that balance is important. Periods of change, like with new leadership, can definitely feel hectic with shifting goals, and we're focused on improving clarity as things evolve. We also acknowledge your point about turnover and the unease it can cause – we monitor this closely, especially during times of transition. Lastly, we appreciate your feedback regarding compensation; this is an area that we review regularly to ensure we remain competitive and fair. We truly appreciate you sharing this feedback. Thanks for being part of the Forward team!

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.

Cons

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.
