Pros

They really do seem to care about their clients, and truly helping them. They go through a pretty extensive amount of training, more on this in cons too. Lots of technology to help you, and hurt you.

Cons

I really wanted to make a home here, seems like a culture where they really do care about their clients. Heres the thing, they set REALLY BAD expectations during interviewing, and during training. Let me explain what I mean. During interviewing and training, they build this picture that you will have time to learn and develop as a rep. Even to go as far as say every single week, that once our of their onboarding, which is a month, that you will have loose goals during the training phase which you're live on calls. At least twice a week during training, they set this number of 15 deals, but say its not set in stone, as long as you show progression, they are happy and will move you to the floor. Well, 2 days before training ended, a higher up decided to join our huddles and everything changed. You could see the managers moods changed, and they decided to hold the class of 31 people accountable to this 15 deal number during the hardest month of the year. Previous classes were given a 12 deal number, and the progression rule was in place. So now 60%+ of the class is staying back to do another round of training, and sent an email on a Friday that if you fail to meet this 15 deal number, you're terminated. This is the culture you're about to join, so be careful. If you don't have experience in this role, move on to another opportunity because you just don't have enough time to develop.

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.
