Pros

Remote Bi weekly pay Flexible schedule

Cons

A day after starting they changed the commission structure. They also went through a long period of keeping us in the dark as to why the leads were so bad. So for 5 months it was the grind of my life to try to get a good check. They finally reevaluated things and started to give us incentives because the hourly is $14 and the commission was horrible. Then for another 4 months we kept getting told that the leads would get better and that was a lie. Then when the leads finally did get better, they change the commission structure again. Then they changed how you meet metrics and implemented a tier system. Then it got worse. Again. Then when I decided to look for a different company to work at my UM told me that if anyone on his team gets put in tier 4 he would tell them to find another job because you won’t make money there. So when I came to him about a new potential offer, he encouraged me to take the job. I have text message proof. Then when I asked if he was just trying to push me out he said “this job isn’t for everyone” then later said he didn’t want me to leave. My UM often made me feel like it was a hostile environment. I often made excuses for his behavior and he would occasionally apologize to me. I left due to my mental health issues and he said I would be rehirable and he would vouch for me so long as I didn’t bash the company. I left with zero write ups and a shot mental health status due to a UM that constantly made me feel like I was being manipulated and gaslighted. This company used to have so much potential but they made a lot of poor investments and got greedy.

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.
