Pros

Trust. In the people I work next to and in my upper management. I feel the information flows through this company extremely well and I always know where I stand from a performance and production standpoint. Dedicated professionals who want to be successful and show every day to make this company better and truly invest in their respective markets and talent candidates.

Cons

Unmatched 401K is my biggest concern. I also feel that LI accounts could be upgraded to better levels and everyone should get their media/message plans paid for on their cell phones.

Pros

Onward search is a great company! Very inclusive and great leadership! They allow people to be themselves all while maintaining good company culture and morals.

Cons

PTO could be a bit better. I would prefer if you got a set amount of days to use however you like (sick days, vacation etc) rather than having them divided up the way they are.

Thank you for your review and those kind words. It means a lot to me to know that people are comfortable coming to work as their authentic selves, and our people were the driving force behind our new expanded PTO policies. I welcome your ideas and suggestions on how to improve our benefits. Please feel free to reach out to me directly or Tara Feighery through slack or email.

Pros

Most of the people are nice.

Cons

The company is growing but without a real plan on how to deliver to clients. Burn out is high, became metric focused vs results-driven Leadership doesn't care about individual success or career goals No ramp-up for new hires High turnover rates Leadership plays favorites & ignores the real issues.

Thank you for taking the time to express your thoughts and concerns. We strive to create a safe space for open and honest feedback from our employees. Please reach out to your manager, HR, or me directly to discuss your concerns, so that we can work to address them together. Regarding growth, we are growing, and fast! That is a good thing, it means we are putting more people to work, and helping more companies achieve their marketing, creative and technology initiatives. It also means we continue to create career growth opportunities for our employees. Our best practices and detailed strategic plan outline the path for Onward’s future as a company. Honoring our core value of transparency, that information is available to all our employees. I am happy to spend some time walking you through it, to help connect some of the dots for you. I am sorry to hear that you feel as though our leaders don’t care about individual success or career growth. Our leadership team works tirelessly to ensure that we are tackling the challenges facing our teams and our industry. This year we have made several significant investments in the business, including a Learning and Development division that is responsible for mapping career paths. The biggest driver of that investment is our people and their careers. You are right, we are moving more towards metrics, but the reason is to have clear measurement on our performance and to drive accountability. We continue to live our core values, which are anchored in delivering amazing customer service and working as a team. I appreciate you highlighting the fact that we have great people at Onward, I couldn't agree more. Thank you for your candor, I hope that you reach out to discuss your concerns.
