Pros

I have been a proud team member at Achieve for eight years, and my experience here has been nothing short of amazing. What truly sets Achieve apart is its unwavering commitment to its core values. This isn't just a company that talks the talk; it genuinely walks the walk every single day. The "Heart + Dollar" motto is the perfect example of our culture in action. We are consistently empowered and encouraged to do what's best for our members (the "Heart"), helping them move forward on their financial journeys. At the same time, we're focused on making smart, sustainable decisions that drive the business forward (the "Dollar"). It's incredibly fulfilling to be part of an organization that so successfully balances genuine compassion with strong business performance. Over my eight years, I have seen the company grow and evolve, but the positive, supportive, and member-focused culture has remained the constant foundation of our success. The leadership is transparent, my colleagues are collaborative and driven, and there are always opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

It's difficult to find any significant drawbacks. Like any company that experiences growth, there can be periods of rapid change, but management has always done an excellent job of communicating openly and supporting the team through any transition.

Pros

Remote work of that's your thing, solid health benefits

Cons

Freedom Financial aka Achieve or whatever they want to call themselves these days has become a toxic wasteland. My main gripe is the constant lying and manipulation. Make no mistake, this is a grind house call center job with high turnover. The comp plan is designed to not pay most consultants any kind of commission so plan to live off a meager dollar wage. You will be oversold on everything when recruited. Prepare for 200+ dials a day to garbage leads. 99% of people don't want to talk to you and those that do.. well be prepared to steal their money and ruin their financial future. The irony is the company disguises itself as in the businessof 'changing people's lives' for the better when the opposite is true. You screw people over while the company takes a 25% and you get peanuts. The technology is constantly failing as well. They are losing good people here because they have become a dumpster fire. You can do better

Pros

Absolutely none. Whatever they are telling you it's an absolute lie.

Cons

People at McDonald's are making more money. The leads are the bottom of the dumpster. The "better"leads are being fed to certain DCs and the President openly admitted that. Their own employees are becoming clients and HR holds "focus groups" pretending to care about people but nothing ever changes. This company has made some serious financial mishaps and refuses to admit it. Their attrition is so deplorable. 20-30 people quitting per month just in sales. That's admitted by the CEO himself. Not to mention the lay offs happening in F+ and clients almost having to wait 30 days to get funded for a loan. There is not enough leads to go around but yet doesn't stop hiring. I would not recommend working here unless you want to be gas lit and told you are the problem because NO LEADER admits that the blame lies on the really bad financial decisions these people have made.
