When I think about the culture at Forward, the word commitment really stands out in my mind. I love how committed we are to everything that we do. We're committed to our team. We're a family here. We laugh. We have fun. We work hard and we genuinely care about each other.

We're committed to our customers. Our small business customers want to work with us again and again because of our focus on building great relationships.

And we're also committed to our community. I love how important giving back is to our team. We fundraise, we volunteer, it just feels so good to be able to make a difference in our communities.

Jozlyn Plummer – Generalist, People & Culture

One of my favorite things about working at Forward is that no matter what department you're in, you can have a direct impact on the business. On your first day. A big part of Forward's mission is helping both customers and employees reach their full potential. So as a member of the product team, I get to really dive into the business processes of each of my stakeholders.

It's really rewarding to come up with ways that technology can help make a team's day easier because when a team is more successful, the customers they serve are successful too.

Sheila Connolly – Product Owner

There's a couple of reasons I decided to come work for this company. First of all, that the technology was built in as part of the success of this organization and not an afterthought to get them there, and I thought that I would be able to make a difference in the company because of that.

Secondly, after meeting the people. When I came and interviewed department heads, various team members, I really liked the sense that, that everyone in the company was pulling together for the company's success and that no one was working in isolation. We were all in this together. And I know that sounds cliched, but it's true with this organization.

Lloyd Warren – Senior Salesforce Administrator

It's the energy that makes me excited about coming to work. There's always a buzz, we're always growing, and hitting milestones. And because of that, no one day ever feels the same.

There's constantly new challenges and problems to solve, which makes each day incredibly fulfilling. And besides that, I'd say my coworkers make me excited to come in each day, whether there's going on for a lunch or a coffee, or just a quick Zoom call, everyone here at Forward Financing is incredibly kind and welcoming.

Eric Ostrander – Legal Recovery Manager

Since I started my career at Forward Financing, cross-team collaboration has always been a key to company success. It takes strong communication and respect between different departments in order to achieve our goals. For me, specifically, working on our sales team collaboration between the sales underwriting and processing teams is instrumental.

Our teams work together nonstop in order to produce the best possible deals for our customers. Honestly, collaborating with every department here at Forward is easy simply because of the quality of people that we have here. All our teams have a connection in some way and have an effect on one another. And since each team is always happy to help, strong, proactive collaboration just comes naturally.
