Supportive culture but lacks clear leadership and balance

Senior brand video lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Great training and support, but high expectations and turnover

Debt consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong onboarding and ongoing sales training. Federally regulated compliance experience is genuinely transferable to other regulated sales roles. Salesforce-driven pipeline systems run well. W2 with full benefits. Tempe office is convenient for East Valley commuters. Comp structure rewards top closers who can sustain the volume.

Cons

150-plus daily contact expectation is sustained, not seasonal. Floor turnover is real. Career ladder beyond senior debt consultant is narrow. Compliance-bound scripts limit consultative range over time. Mid-cycle changes to KPIs and quota structures can disrupt rep income and floor standing with limited advance notice. Best fit if you treat it as an 18-to-24-month launchpad rather than a long-term home.

Rewarding work helping people with their finances

Senior loan consultant iii

Business Outlook

Pros

You truly help people get out of bad debt and into a simple interest loan often saving the member monthly and a lot in interest. You get to put people in a better financial position and it is amazing! You also get to connect with our members and be a part of their lives whether it's a home improvement, debt consolidation, helping with medical debt and many other uses. You get paid very well, but that's not even as rewarding as helping the people we talk to.

Cons

I have no cons for Achieve!
