Pros
Achievement First is where I became an educator for life. You will not find a more committed and intelligent group of people anywhere in this country who are working incredibly hard to serve students and families in under-served and disenfranchised communities. If you read the reviews on this site, one of the most frequently mentioned ideas is that of "development." If you are a teacher looking to get into the big leagues, you will grow at AF. I came to AF as a teacher in 2008, and left ready to be a school leader in 2013 when I moved out of state.
Cons
It is true that the hours are long and the work is difficult. Put simply: it's not for everybody, and certainly not for somebody who wants to punch a clock.
