Travis County Sheriff reviews

great training, civil service, hires prior law enforcement on a lateral entry

Generally a very positive environment, with very friendly coworkers throughout the facility. It is easy to make friends, even with those from other departments. The victim advocates are very passionate, and dedicated to serving the needs of the victims as best they can. There is a good amount of communication and teamwork. There are many opportunities for learning and growing, and the organization seems to prioritize keeping employees up-to-date on the newest concepts and resources available. This learning atmosphere also includes learning from your fellow coworkers and clients, as everyone makes an effort to be involved in learning about the needs and goals of other departments. There are occasional treats and fun events, along with a gym that rarely seems to get crowded. In spite of the often-serious subject matter, those in the organization still work with humor and a sense of fun (when appropriate).
