Pros

I am a current Associate at PES. I have loved my time here at Piper so far. There really is so much opportunity here for everyone! The environment is so different compared to any other company, we are partners both at work and outside of work. We enjoy each other’s company which to me is so important. We are truly building a business together and I am so happy to be working here!

Cons

Some of the cons about working at PES are all things that we are told multiple times throughout the interview process. This is not your typical 9am-5pm job. You will be working 50+ hours a week and it is an extremely high stress level job. Be sure you are willing to put in the hours! You have to be competitive and you have to have drive. Sometime you will have to push yourself and sometimes you will have the push from others. It is not always easy, and takes a ton of work but if you are willing to put in the work it will 100% pay off.

Pros

• Great peers who make the workday enjoyable • Leadership has been investing in change, including a new CEO bringing fresh direction • High performers are given flexibility and trust • Exposure to federal contracting and IT staffing, which builds unique industry knowledge • Opportunity to make strong money if you’re willing to grind Additional Context for Job Seekers A lot of negative reviews you’ll see here are from consultants or project-side employees, and those experiences don’t always reflect what it’s like to be in sales or recruiting. If you’re interviewing for an Associate Account Manager, Account Manager, or Recruiting role, read those reviews with caution. This is sales. It’s hard, it’s metrics-driven, and it’s not for everyone. But if you’re motivated, competitive, and want to learn how staffing works, you can do well here.

Cons

• Like most sales orgs, if you’re not producing you’ll feel the pressure • Constant monitoring of numbers can be draining • Staffing is a tough industry, and AI is making it even tougher. Not every hiring manager values what you bring • Frequent change in direction creates uncertainty at times
