Pros

Some pretty nice people around the office.

Cons

2/3 of the class I started with in May are now gone. You are just a number and if you don't fit their mold, you will be terminated. The reality is they will have your seat filled within a matter of days because every 3 weeks they have a new class starting. Out with the old, in with the new. I was terminated to health reasons, documented health reasons that they acknowledged and would see me in the office sick but they didn't care. I was even working overtime most weeks and producing numbers that exceeded their quotas but they didn't care. When they blindsided me and walked me into HR, they told me I exceeded the number of absences allowed which goes against everything they put in writing to me and also as company policy, but they didn't care. They were aware I was working with a specialist to address my health concerns but when they terminated me, they also terminated my health insurance a week later thus preventing me from being able to continue treatment, they don't care. The joke is, they call this the "Freedom Family".... well if that behavior is what you call family, I'm glad I'm no longer apart of yours. As for the pay, what others are saying is very much true, $12.02/hour, takes about 5-6 months to hopefully get a commission check. Pretty much everything recruiting and management told me in the interview process did turn out to be fraudulent.

Pros

I have been with Achieve for nearly 13 years, and it continues to be a place I truly enjoy working. The people here make all the difference—there is a strong sense of collaboration, support, and inclusivity that you don’t often find elsewhere. I appreciate the diversity within the organization and how valued different perspectives are. Leadership is supportive, and I have had a great experience with my supervisor, who encourages growth and teamwork. Even in a remote environment, Achieve does an excellent job fostering connection and maintaining a culture that genuinely feels like a family. I’m proud to be part of a company that prioritizes its employees and creates a positive, engaging work environment. I love the option to work from home it makes my life a little easier :)

Cons

I do not have any significant cons to note. In my experience, Achieve has been a great place to work. I feel fortunate to genuinely enjoy what I do and to be part of a company that I believe in.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
