Pros

I worked for Achieve for about 3 years. It was a great place to work for, the owners did actually care for what they do and those who they employed. One thing in particular I want to shout out here, is their DEI program. I know, DEI programs are being attacked from all fronts in today's society, however Achieve's DEI initiatives seems to actually embrace diversity and respect every person's differences, regardless of their skin color, ethic origin, and personalities. This brings up one of the most underrated perks I took away from my time in Achieve - they have one of the best employee training programs and teams I have ever had luck to be part of. This is so far the only company I have worked for where I actually not just enjoyed their employee training but took away probably life long useful lessons from it. Me and several senior trainers both agree that the owners actually do care about what they say, instead of running such programs solely because the law required them to or they wanted to virtual signaling to boost their market share. Too bad, not many other companies are doing the same which is probably the reason why such programs have come under massive attacks today.

Cons

Too bad the company has been through tough times and had to rely on private equity to fund its operations, and layoffs are happening in an increasing fashion. It will be really bad if the owners are forced to sell the company's majority stake eventually because I personally feel like they are standout businessmen. Wish I could have stayed longer but I believe there are structural issues they will have to fix that is not doable with money or layoffs.

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.
