      Poor Management

      Senior associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great way to learn about the business due to fast-paced environment

      Cons

      You are merely a number and there is no loyalty whatsoever. You are not valued, no matter how hard you work. Management only supports management, not sub-manager level employees. Turnover ratio is pitiful.

      Perfect Place for a Lifetime Career

      Senior manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Management listens to your ideas and wants your input - A lot is asked of you during busy season, but balance comes when there aren't client demands - The firm's vision and growth is clearly and often communicated - If you make the effort - anyone in top management will help mentor your career - They support working mothers - both with benefits and schedules - Client interaction starts at the beginning of your career, you don't have to wait years to get this experience - True family environment - there is a level of care about you personally that extends way beyond the hours of nine to five and what product your producing - Your success is directly and closely dependent on how much work you put into your career – I like having that control over my future

      Cons

      These are more just cons for public accounting as a whole – I don’t have any specific cons for Whitley Penn, but someone considering working here should be aware: - There are times personal weekend or evening plans have to be canceled because of unexpected work - You will be expected to bring in business – new business is essential to the health of the firm and you have to be contributing to that - Organization is as important to your ability to be successful as is technical knowledge – there is not a lot of hand holding and be it entering time, knowing the status of a project, or keeping up with client communication, you have to be organized - Research and independent work is going to happen a lot – teams are used and management is accessible, however, you will be asked to look into unfamiliar issues/topics yourself

      Not a good place to work

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Snacks in the office. Lots of business coming into the firm.

      Cons

      It is really like a high school clique. If you are not in the popular group, just stay out. Partners and managers are very biased.
