Pros

Free lunch once a month. Rio 1 and Rio 2 are very amazing to work at, wonderful buildings. Cafe food is delicious.

Cons

Hard to grow if you are not a favorite of management. Clear favoritism of employees. Give employees projects to do extra work in order to grow, but does not provide with proper time to succeed at that project or provide compensation for extra work. Scorecard has information that is out of control for the advocates to reach, EXAMPLE- Client dashboard login, the advocates cannot force the clients to log in, only suggest it, unfair to have on the score card. Incredibly difficult to deal with escalated clients, coaches and supervisors are in limited supply so it is difficult to pass it to a properly trained advocate. Training does not teach you to handle difficult calls, only simple ones. Management is incompetent, same with supervisors. Supervisors only work with you until they feel you are doing good, then they never give you another coaching session to work on your communications. Unpredictable future, you never know what is going to happen. Switched buildings for the largest portion of the company (client services), and then when they grew out of that space in the matter of a week, they made the advocates desk share which resulted in disgusting and uncleanly spaces.

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.
