Pros

I love my job at Forward Financing. I can honestly say I look forward to coming into work every single day (or at this point logging on from home). I know its cliche to say the team and culture are what makes the company so great but its the truth. I'm good friends with my entire team and we used to enjoy grabbing drinks after work, team lunches/dinners, poker nights etc. Now with the pandemic we still golf and see each other from time to time but they really are the ones that get me through the day. It's a team full of hard workers who are career oriented and ambitious but also know how to keep it fun on a day to day basis. The company used to hold a bunch of cool events like bowling, boat cruise, casino night, red sox, celtics, bruins games, company wide lunches, open bars and seasonal parties/events, and happy hours. It's not all just fun and games though. The company has been extremely successful and has been growing at a rapid pace. If you work here you will be very busy and will need to work very hard. The managers expect a lot from you because they understand your potential and push you to grow. Often times you'll be so busy you'll blink and all of a sudden its the end of the day. Typical work hours are from about 9 - 6. If you're just trying to punch the clock and collect paychecks this isn't the place for you. If you do want to work for a fast paced, growing company, with a young and fun culture I couldn't recommend Forward Financing more. It's the best job I've ever had.

Cons

There are some growing pains with how fast we've grown but we always adjust and keep moving forward!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're an ambitious team that wants to help as many small businesses succeed as we can, and we're happy to hear that you feel like this has created an opportunity for progression for many employees. While COVID impacted many of our small business customers, our leadership team tried to be as transparent as possible about the status of the company and feel confident in the direction we're heading in now. Thank you, People and Culture

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.

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.
