-The underwriting department is led by bright visionaries with great emotional intelligence. These leaders are crucial in providing the initiatives, goals and targeted guidance necessary for success -The underwriting department is sustained by an incredible culture of motivated hard working underwriters -The Chief People Officer is charismatic, transparent and people first. She truly cares about every single employee and will go above and beyond to make sure these employees are appreciated and rewarded for their hard work -The People & Culture team work so diligently to maintain a truly special culture and keep employee satisfaction high. Their employee recognition and appreciation programs are exceptional -The culture of Forward Financing is truly one of one. Hard work is always seen and appreciated. It’s a job you truly wake up excited to work -Having the the flexibility to work remotely and commute into a beautiful office space at your leisure is a very rare benefit among its contemporaries in the industry. As I'm 50+ miles away from the office space, this is a very appreciated perk -I feel very thankful to have a job that helps positively impact real people and small businesses by giving them the access to the capital they need to sustain and expand their businesses

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.
