Pros

On site cafe (overpriced but convenient) New Employee Orientation is fun Fantastic medical benefits and 401k match Income opportunity (Former)

Cons

Incompetent or unethical leadership (Hard to tell when they play dumb) Fleeting income opportunity Unrealistic accountability standards and expectations Blatant favoritism Deceit Degrading income opportunity. Income this year is expected to project at about 60-70% of last year on a heightened work-output expectation, even though ur business is greatly benefited by a pandemic The competition is outpacing our growth, which was our only competitive advantage (The company's leverage to negotiate because of sheer volume) There has been a longstanding complaint about compensation for management positions. Instead of increasing their manager's pay, they have decreased what a salesperson can make so that the income drop to take a promotion would not be as drastic. Max income opportunity now, $120-150 for less than 10% of the sales floor. Average will be around $45k for sales

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.
