It use to be a good place - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Achievement First

I do not recommend working for Achievement First (AF). While the organization once thrived under its founding leadership, it has unraveled under the current administration. There’s a persistent lack of transparency—leaders claim to care about staff, but repeated actions show otherwise. In 2024, AF conducted a major layoff that impacted many network leaders, followed by another in 2025 that eliminated key roles, including the Chief of Schools. These decisions point to deeper financial and organizational instability. More troubling, the organization seems to have lost its identity. There’s no clear sense of who they are or what they stand for. As a result, there are constant shifts in direction, as leadership chases the latest trend rather than building a stable, mission-driven foundation. The culture is unstable, and the lack of consistency makes it a difficult environment to work in. Proceed with caution.
