Pros

- Strong Recruiter training - Long lasting friendships

Cons

- Feedback rich environment that gossips about you and your flaws to the office right after - If you put your 2 weeks notice to an Account Manager the entire office will know in 2 seconds - Work 40+ hours for a "promotion", but you won't get promoted any time soon - Staffing is naturally a stressful environment and people will say nasty things to put you down. Account Managers have 0 to no managing skills - They brainwash you to think that this company is going to do great things. A company will not do great things unless they begin to see their employees as assets, not threats. After the recent layoff, Piper is far cry from great things - Nepotism is everywhere. Leadership has their first draft in favorites. For a company that claims they value fostering professional and personal development, you really just can't mix the two and have to give people a chance. - I have never seen or worked in an environment where employees come into work hating their lives. Piper cooks up the perfect recipe to make people feel that way.

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
