Pros

From the moment I joined Onward, I was impressed by the supportive and engaging environment that focused on both personal and professional growth! During my tenure with Onward I have been rewarded with many growth opportunities. Onward has remarkable leadership. Ken Clark has stepped back in as CEO and we couldn't be more thrilled! The entire leadership team has a strong dedication to the well-being and growth of their employees. My manager is approachable, supportive and genuinely cares about me - personally and professionally. Work-life balance is a huge focus at Onward. The remote work option is huge in allowing me a greater work-life balance, while still hitting my deadlines and delivering my work. Great benefits and PTO offerings. High earning potential, no cap, commission plan. Onward truly fosters a positive and nurturing work environment, inclusive of everyone. I absolutely recommend Onward to anyone seeking a rewarding career in staffing.

Cons

The company went through a recent re-organization. There is always fear with change, however I truly believe this re-organization was the right move for the company and will position Onward for more success in the future.

Pros

They are not too competitive on base pay but they work very hard to have a great company culture, morale, benefits and competitions to keep you hungry! They always strive to stay current with recruiting programs. Most senior management is very open and helpful. The CEO and president specifically work hard to speak with everyone.

Cons

Pay increase and commission is often not as competitive. In some markets there is no incentive for recruiters to pipeline new candidates or help with new potential business which leaves BDMs doing a lot of recruiting and vetting for potential clients all by themselves. Similar companies work harder and spend to get retain. We clients.

Thanks so much for this feedback! Our team has recently restructured and made changes to our commission program in order to better align incentives with the behaviors that help our people match incredible creative talent with new jobs. New Hires will find our total rewards package to be the most competitive we've offered since inception. We are always seeking to iterate and improve on the things that help make it easy to #LoveWhereYouWork. It's feedback like this that helps make us stronger- thank you!
