RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Achieve3000 full-time
Pros
Ample vacation time, relaxed office atmosphere, not micro-managed (although this may depend on who your direct manager is). You can work from home on occasion, which is nice. Free coffee and tea in the office, and breakfast/lunches are catered every so often. There are opportunities to move up in the company if you excel in your position. There are cost of living increases in salary every year.
Cons
No paid lunch breaks. PTO is broken up into vacation days, floating holidays, and sick days. Unfortunately you only get 3 sick days . . . I wish there was just a set amount of paid days off you can pull from. Get the flu one week and all your sick days are blown in one shot! This is tempered by the ability to work remotely, however.

Pros
I work in the field, not at the corporate office. Work very independently, love my boss, does not micromanage. Generous time off policy. Program is a very valuable resource that is upgraded routinely. Colleagues are top notch!
Cons
Upper mgt sometimes a bit slow to provide resources for new initiatives, new rollouts at inopportune time of year.
Advice to Management
Provide timely information on bonus metrics,

- Highly skilled and motivated employees who genuinely care

Look to your best-in-class workforce for ways to innovate and finally crack that $100M revenue goal that you have had for, what like four years now? Why hire smart people if you only want them to do what you tell them to do?

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Achieve3000 full-time (More than a year)
Pros
The platform is a strong product.
Cons
CEO micromanages, Processes are antiquated and difficult to navigate. Too much turnover and constant fear of being let go. No marketing or lead generation...I could go on, bottom line it is not a stable place to work. I joined thinking new management could make an impact and they couldn't. Now that CEO has stepped aside it may improve but I wouldn't bet on the culture changing overnight.
Advice to Management
Improve processes so your employees can do their jobs. Take this new opportunity and expand marketing and review current pricing structure.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Achieve3000 full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Non-management are pleasant, kind, and highly motivated to grow and learn.
Cons
Upper management communicates poorly, doesn't provide clear guidelines, takes credit for employee's achievements, and overreacts to small setbacks.
Company didn't pay accrued vacation time or floating holidays or sick time (which doesn't accrue) upon leaving company. They decided to not even fully pay me what I worked.
Worst company ever worked at.Advice to Management
Give clear guidelines, support employees, give them credit where credit is due, and pay them what you contractually agreed to.
