      Benefits - health insurance, weekly pay check

      Caring upper leadership who truly listens

      Pros

      -Our CEO is amazing. She listens to the needs of employees and is working so hard to break apart bad habit or tactics. She is truly a people person and knows that success of the business is driven by motivated and satisfied employees. Onward has undergone a lot of positive changes in the last year and it’s thanks to her ability to recognize an issue and address it immediately. -WE ARE FULLY REMOTE!! -PTO, benefits, and perks are great and they add to them each year based on the requests of employees. Work-life balance is overall good and managers encourage their workers to use their PTO. -We have an incredible L&D team who are genuinely driven to get new hires up and running and current employees exactly what they need to be successful and to grow within the company. -Leadership is transparent with employees about the company goals and encourages them to jump on board with assisting in hitting goals, even if it’s in a different area of focus (example: recruiters can help with an L&D measure and learn something new outside recruiting). Their weekly announcements are always encouraging and help get employees started with their week on the right note by reminding them that they are a huge value and asset to our company strategic goals. - Our DE&I committee is not just HR or leadership, but anyone can be a member. They have some amazing initiatives and work incredibly hard to make Onward an inclusive place for all.

      Cons

      - Pay may still a little low compared to the market, but senior management has been diligently working on this and it has improved over the last year. I foresee this to keep improving over the next few months.

      Thank you so much for the review and the kind words. I appreciate your observation of all that we are doing to make Onward a disruptive and innovative force in our industry. I keep a master list of all of the ideas, thoughts and concerns that are shared with me and our Senior Leadership Team. That list is prioritized regularly and solutions are launched to address each, ensuring our employees are heard. I am happy to share the various compensation exercises that we do quarterly to ensure our compensation models are both competitive and that we maintain 100% pay parity (something I am extremely proud of!). Please reach out to me or your manager to discuss comp! We will get together as teams to learn and live our core value of having fun, but we are going to continue to offer fully remote options for our teams, so you have nothing to worry about on that front. Regards, Eliana M. Hassen CEO
