      Pros

      <pre>• Coworker professionalism. • The company strives to be the finest in the business. • The company advocates for DE&I and for working remotely. • The company benefits are good but do not let using them affect KPIs. • This is a good company with seemingly good intentions but their yin/yang is chaotically out of whack…</pre>

      Cons

      <pre>• Key performance indicators (KPIs) are unproven, based on verbal recollections rather than verifiable records. • The KPIs do not create an individual's ability to make money for the company. • Unproven KPIs cannot be adapted to changing markets. • Maintaining meaningful interactions takes a back seat to quantifiable KPI busy work. • The average estimated amount of time required per week to complete KPIs and related actions is 49 hours. • Constant changes require extra adaptability around processes, inconsistent standards, and attrition. • The technology is self-described as "cutting edge" but that is not the definition. Multiple segregated apps require repetitive manual mouse movements and clicks. • Training is limited. Figure it out, or wait for eventual help. • They are top-heavy. The company-provided LinkedIn stats indicate that senior management numbers rarely change but those below are churned and burned. Median employee tenure is 2.2 years.</pre>

      Hi there and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We agree with you - Onward strives to be the finest in our business! Your feedback on KPI's is valuable and we appreciate your willingness to share your thoughts. We can assure you that our KPI's have been vetted and validated to yield results, when met. We appreciate that when markets change and teams are restructured, exclusively focusing on production (KPI's/placements) can be challenging and de-motivating for team members. We're committed to reviewing all feedback from our employees and acting on it as appropriate. We've created an anonymous way, AllVoices, to interact with leadership, in the hopes that we can better understand the experience of our team members. Please feel free to reach out using that tool with additional comments or feedback you may have. Thank you for everything you do for Onward!

      Pros

      Strong entrepreneurial mindset with real ownership and autonomy. Leadership encourages initiative, creative problem-solving, and building new ideas from the ground up. Great environment for self-starters who want to make an impact.

      Cons

      Must be quick on your feet! Priorities may shift quickly, requiring comfort with ambiguity and rapid change.

      We’re thrilled to hear that our entrepreneurial culture and focus on ownership resonate with you. Creating an environment where people feel trusted, supported, and empowered to bring new ideas to life is core to who we are, and your feedback reinforces the importance of that commitment. As a growth‑minded organization, change is often part of the journey—but we remain focused on providing clarity, communication, and support to help our team navigate it successfully. Insights like yours help us continue strengthening that balance. Your encouragement to “keep doing what we're doing” truly means a lot. We're grateful to have you as part of Onward Search and excited to see what you build next.
