Pros

The people are wonderful--very smart, funny, and good to be around. We have lots of fun in the office, and management really encourages this! The relaxed attitude is very appreciated, and helps create an atmosphere of teamwork. Some flexibility in scheduling and telecommuting is also great. The office is very informal and laid back--very Austin. If you like to work hard and play hard, it`s a good fit!

Cons

No dedicated HR staff (odd for a company that provides HR services), so performance management and skill growth feel like they are at the bottom of the priority list. Vacation benefits for employees in their first few years are not great--expect to have to use your PTO for Christmas Eve. Unneccesarily stressful environment where everything feels like an emergency. People are often working nights and weekends.

Pros

I've been working for WPA for just over 2 years and have loved every minute of it. The management in particular were one of the things that attracted me to take the position, as their pragmatic and even-keeled approach would be welcome in most organizations. That level of stability is helpful in a traditionally unstable role (sales). Received the best and most focused sales training of any organization I've worked for and have seen the financial benefits of that investment the company placed in me immediately, and that will be something I'll be able to take into any other position should I leave WPA (which I have zero intention of doing!). The culture is also sales driven, in that the C-level reacts to actual market intel as far as what to offer and sell instead of trying to shove a non-client focused solution on an uninterested public. As a salesperson, it's really about all you could ask for, as the compensation is excellent too. For an office as small as this (compared to other places I've worked), the people get along fantastically well and it's just a fun place to be. This is the most satisfied professionally I've ever been, and the best is yet to come!

Cons

The office is not close to my house, but even within that, management has worked with me to make the schedule and commute work within my families needs, so even that is a pro.
