Minpunten

A seemingly 5 star place to work throughout the interview process, with a shiny business model that is packaged to seem too good to be true as a solution for small business owners looking for working capital with an enticing startup vibe. So wrong. Once you are hired, you undergo two weeks of training which is essentially intelligible to a kindergarten finger painting class. My original team was wonderful with lots of 'A' players from great schools and backgrounds only to be reduced to numbers and deals on the white board in the office. Most of my peers were overqualified for their positions and worked below under-qualified 'D' managers that had no real concepts of the product or the client. Underwriters and upper level managers are the real false prophets of the company, it is a shame that they reduced the company to its bare bones and kept these people. Outlook is not good. Not to mention, a word of the wise to the client, DO NOT do business with this company unless you plan to go into the red. Any smart business owner would see a warning flag with this company charging upwards of 40% over a one year period. This company assures that it is trying to help you grow your business, however assuming they have any fiduciary responsibility could mean your business going underwater. For working capital loans, turn to OnDeck, Lending Tree, Circle, etc, they are the real MVP's. Sooner than they realize, banking regulations will expand into this industry and start stress testing, iit is not going to be a pretty picture and everyone will be better off because of it.

I am very sorry to hear that you had a bad experience at Forward Financing. As CEO, I take personal responsibility for every colleague’s job satisfaction and I apologize if you were not happy with your experience at the company. We started our company in 2012 with the goal of helping small business owners get financing to grow their businesses. Since then we have done over $100 million in financing and are extremely proud of our achievements. We find nothing more rewarding than customers thanking us for getting them funds to finance payroll, inventory, expansion etc., even after their local banks have rejected them. You can see our customer satisfaction in the 100+ 5-star reviews on TrustPilot, an independent, third-party review site. In addition, we have consistently maintained an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Our customers’ high satisfaction ratings notwithstanding, we are committed to offering our employees a rewarding work environment with growth opportunities, consistent learning and challenges – all while enjoying the company of bright, motivated and ambitious colleagues. We are extremely proud of the A team we have assembled across all functions. We are a fast-growing company and while growing, we did make some mistakes. As a result we had to let go of some of our colleagues earlier this year for no fault of theirs. As someone who hired each one of them, it was incredibly painful for me and a bitter, yet important learning experience. Clearly your experience at Forward Financing was less than optimal. I do wish you had brought this to my attention so that I could have tried to make it better. As you know, we have an “open-door” policy, there are no offices for management and we try our hardest to have an open dialogue. Still, I want to thank you for your time here and wish you the best in your career. Justin Bakes

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
