Pros

Good people when in the office, nice cafeteria, and a good location

Cons

They are doing everything they can to to get you in and trying to sell you the job on limitless earning potential but in reality they are reducing commissions to compensate upper management, investors, tech, and IT. If you were making 200k now your making 150k. If you were making 75k now your making 40 to 50k. It is what it is but they won't tell you this obviously. They say it as we are trying to level the commissions to make it balanced. They leads have gotten so bad that you are constantly calling warm leads that have no clue why you are calling and think you are offering them a loan. Sounds more like a cold lead to me. They now send the "hot leads" to a new department with a 60k cap to lower costs which has really hurt the traditional sales teams. This is what has really caused most of the sales floor to lower paychecks. It's gotten so bad that long term sales studs have left to go into the mortgage industry instead. Constant changes to everything and its dizzying to say the least. They are literally in a constant state of change. Wheter it's what you can or cannot say, expectations, commission structures, leadership, etc. The sales reps who have left, successful and unsuccessful ones, left because the changes are clear that this is not the same opportunity that existed just a few years ago in sales. Everyone who has left has told me the same thing that I felt. It's not worth it anymore and that their lives are now much more balanced and they feel a ton of weight off their shoulders. Go work for a legitimate company in a legitimate industry that plays a fair game. One that hasn't been sued by multiple state attorney general's and the federal government. Oh and to Brad Stroh. You grew up in Brentwood, Ca. Your dad was the CEO of Kraft foods. You went to Brentwood academy, Stanford, etc. However, he tells you the story of the company starting out of a garage of two college students like it's some amazing story of something out of nothing. Just curious on the "garage". Was it a 10 car garage?

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.
