Forrest Solutions

Former Dallas employee here. I definitely keep your options open when dealing with this company. Was with them for almost 8 months, worked with them and was very considerate of their time and showed up 100%, impressed every client. I long story short while being flexible and being supportive of this company - during my last 2 weeks with them, last working with them was in June, they asked me for help at an account who’s contract was coming to an end. I was told in May (mind you) that they had a position with the exact same things I did in my original contract with them. When the end comes, I don’t hear anything about the position again, this was again basically almost 2 months of thinking they wanted to give a me permanent position (I was a great employee & extremely reliable) — they ultimately give it to someone else in the company and then attempted to gaslight me into saying “one of the positions they had available was always going to go to this said person.” Which was news to me. If I had known that information sooner I would have began seeking employment elsewhere instead of helping them, I should have helped myself instead. So they not only didn’t care about me having a family to provide for, or the last almost 8 months of me going above and beyond, impressing every client of theirs, while they weren’t even considerate enough to communicate this matter with me so that I could prepare myself accordingly. Not to mention - my pay was not paid on time 4 times all due to lack of doing what they needed to on their end. It seems that they have a lot to work on. Mostly their integrity and communication I feel. The opportunity is there with this company but several of the higher ups are very sneaky and only look out for themselves. It shows. In the end - their short term fear of conflict and using others for their gain and attempt to impress their clients, they lose out on actual hard working associates. They don’t care about you, and they will throw you out as soon and they’re done using you. I say all of this because I noticed in their “weekly update” emails I stopped receiving them and so now I feel they have basically cut ties that way. 

A typical day at work starts by paying for your own parking. (If you are working at one of their downtown locations) Then walking 10 minutes or more to your desk to make sure you're there at exactly shift start time. You cannot clock in early and you cannot clock in late, there is no grace. From there, you'll be doing a hodgepodge of different tasks. Nothing is consistent, and nothing has a procedure. The company is still fairly new, so I guess you can give them grace. Although it seems they would have standard procedures outlined for their task solutions before implementing hands on activity. At the downtown location, you'll be picking up the slack for other people who refuse to learn other departments. People saying "that's not my job" is very common. Why should they do more? Management is stingy with raises and those who work hard are taken advantage of, while those who slack off are rewarded. The good news is, if  you show up everyday, you'll be fine. Make sure you don't have children, a disability, or caring for a relative, as these are not understood and are not given grace at this company. Even with documentation. Management gossips, a lot, making the work environment toxic, and some members of management were given jobs because they were close with the people in charge. You're to interact with clients as minimal as possible to the point you feel unwelcomed in your environment. Lastly, they will extort as much work for as little pay as possible. You're better off working for the client, than the company. 

The hiring process is very nice and fast. The office workers start out very pleasant but show their true colors. 
Unfortunately all the negative reviews on every platform are very true.
Once my group was place at our location we notice how the people we are supposed to rely on keep important information from us. They'll only comply and really help you if you're going to say you'll quit, which is absolutely ridiculous.
It's a shame to hear that my fellow outsource Co-workers and I have experienced the same issues of the staff refusing to answer phone calls, give misinformation, withholding proper information, be completely rude, and blame situations on the outsourced workers. I'm highly disappointed but I'm not surprised because I have seen their reviews before I officially began working with Forrest. 
I appreciate this company for sending me to different locations and getting the chance to gain different skills. Hopefully I can use those skills at a different job soon. We rely of these people to help us and they just leave you in the dirt. This is not a long term type of job. 
For others going through this nonsense remember you're in the right and you're not crazy. Keep pushing and moving forward.

While managing the messenger center we get all kinds of colorful characters coming through all day. We accept packages and escort couriers upstairs. While working for this company, I've learned much about myself. I've grown as a person, figured out how to take charge, aim for what I want and go after it. The Management team is nice and they show that they care. They treat their employees like people, not robots. When it comes to co-workers, people will be people, we do not all fall from the same tree. The hardest part of the job would be getting certain teammates who are unbelievers, to believe in the company and it's goal. Working with slackers can be hard, especially when I know they can have so much potential. You can't change someone who doesn't see the need to. The most enjoyable part of my job is feeling a sense of worth in my company. Knowing how valuable I am as an asset, the trust that I've been given into running the office and knowing that my voice can be heard. I like knowing that I am making some sort of a difference in peoples lives. That my teammates can come to me if they need help or have questions. It is great knowing you can help someone develop themselves into stronger, well rounded individuals.

My experience working with Forrest Solutions was disappointing overall. The company operates largely as a staffing agency, and while they are able to place employees at client sites fairly quickly, the support from management often feels minimal once you are actually working in your role. Communication from supervisors and recruiters can be inconsistent, and it can sometimes feel like employees are treated more like placements than people.

One of the biggest frustrations is the lack of growth opportunities and long-term stability. Many positions feel temporary with little incentive for advancement or pay increases. Several employees report being kept in contractor roles for extended periods rather than being hired directly by the client company. Pay and benefits are also frequently described as below market value, and PTO options can be limited depending on the assignment.  ￼

Management structure can also be confusing because workers often report to both the client company and Forrest Solutions simultaneously, which sometimes leads to conflicting expectations and little support when issues arise.  ￼

Overall, Forrest Solutions may work as a short-term job placement, but many employees feel it lacks the support, transparency, and career development opportunities they were hoping for.


Unfortunately, I experienced at work increasingly difficult due to ongoing harassment, targeting, and bullying by certain individuals in leadership. The culture, in my experience, was unhealthy and at times unsafe. Bullying behaviors were tolerated or overlooked, and retaliation seemed to occur when concerns were raised. This created a fearful and distrustful environment for many. Despite this, some coworkers showed genuine kindness and support, which helped me push through .The hardest part was enduring daily mistreatment while still trying to stay professional, meet expectations, and maintain my self-respect. The emotional weight of being targeted and unsupported took a serious toll over time. I learned how to stand strong in the face of adversity, to document and protect myself professionally, and to stay grounded in my values. I also learned that speaking up matters, even when it’s difficult, and that protecting my mental and emotional health must be a priority.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good placement for job assignments, but not perfect. Have good relationship with my supervisor who has Related Companies as her primary asset. Assignments have varied between Concierge, Door Attendant, and Usher and Elevator Operator for Japan Society and LL Holding.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There have been some assignments which I have unfortunately have had to not take because they have finished so late and been followed by one starting so early the following day. 
Due to my health condition, I, unfortunately, have not been able to confirm and take the assignment.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good working environment; all of my colleagues, whether from the asset itself or from Forrest Solutions have been extremely helpful in whatever to the work environment may be.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8 hour day; either 7AM-3:30 PM or 3PM-11:30PM each work tour has a 30 minute meal break.

I received a call from this company during the pandemic, it was in July 2020. The pay was good it started the next day. The position was a covid screener with hospitality experience.  I LOVED this job it, was exciting and new but a learning experience as well. I loved the atmosphere and the people. I worked at this jobsite for 13 months, never missed a day besides when my grandfather died. I would of still been at this job, I was asked if I wanted or did I get the shot I said no.... I had passed several rapid test when anyone tested positive and I never did. The next day I was let go...  Literally out of the blue, nevermind, if it was for religious reason, they didn't care that I expelled at this job. The whole office building was devastating for me and I was even offered a position to apply directly for a position at their company. It was in taxes, not my field I declined. I had an offer to comeback to this job whenever I got the shot, manager gave me a Glowing review.

Forrest Solutions is a Productive and  fun place to work with good benefits a faced paced creative place.  learned a lot great with management  and would recommend to a friend. The work place culture is calm and well managed. The hardest part of the job is making sure your on time they have early hours and you have to be on time.The most enjoyable part of the job is that it has great people and you get to work with lots of talent and some great perks at  some of there sites they have to offer.   I learned a lot of things there IT skills shipping skills front desk skill conference room setups AV skills   time mtg skills and being part of a great  team and how to get along with fellow coworkers. atypical day is being part of a productive team and getting the job done and getting it done correctly.  
 MY  CAREER OBJECTIVE
Was	to obtain a position where I can contribute to an organization utilizing my excellent skills in managerial management in different of types of business where my skills could be used effectively and my time would go by quickly.

Work was simple as far as the basic requirements of the job. Forrest Solutions have inadequate benefits and 401-K. Work culture was business casual for the most part. The Forrest Solutions is small compared to other companies like Exela Technology Solution for example, and moving up rands is challenging unless you suck up to management. Management and team lead demands too much, no knowledge of the proper operation, and treat their employees poorly at the particular location I was assigned. Management would suck up their male counterpart to win points and to let higher up male managers grow their ego due to that results. Watch out if you are the only male in your workgroup... They will outcast you if they find something to not like about you and then fire you if possible. 

The only good thing about working there was the salary. I was getting paid more than all of my workgroup/co-workers.
