Pros

Quick promotions for high performers. Onward Play line of business has some really great people. Marketing team is fantastic, they equip sales team with excellent tools for outreach.

Cons

Crazy high turnover. Over the course of 3 years, we had some of the highest turnover, at both leadership and production level, I've experienced in a 20+ year staffing career. Delayed payouts on commissions (4-6 months) for full time placements. One or two highly toxic/abrasive people in leadership roles.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your time with Onward and for your positive words around our Play and Marketing teams. In 2023 we reorganized the company to align with our go forward growth strategy which led to some turnover on our team. We couldn’t be more confident in both our team and the company for 2024 and beyond. We appreciate all your hard work while you were here and we wish you all the best.

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.
