Pros

There are a ton of staffing companies out there but Piper truly does stand out from all the rest. There is a reason folks are leaving some of the largest players in the staffing world to come to Piper. From the top of the leadership chain down, the whole team at Piper feels like a family. It is a true work hard, play hard environment where your efforts do not go unnoticed. As cliche as it may sound, the income potential is huge and will only get larger and larger as the company continues to scale over time. The leadership team and support staff at Piper is unmatched and your teammates will always have your back. Your coworkers will very quickly become some of your best friends.

Cons

The staffing industry is very tough no matter what company you are at. There will be really great days but there will also be really rough days, you can only control so much as we are in the business of working with people and at the end of the day life happens. Being a newer company in an industry saturated by billion dollar firms with thousands of employees, you will experience growing pains and sometimes feel like you are biting off more than you can chew but it will be worth it in the end. Long hours can come into play especially when you are tasked with huge projects and faced with deadlines that must be met but it WILL be worth your effort at the end of the day.

Pros

-Earning potential -Opportunity to learn about different facets of business -Good balance between working in an office setting, networking with candidates, client meetings over coffee, lunch and even in-office. -Opportunity to help build and grow the business -Builds a strong work-ethic and teaches repeatable, consistent recruiting processes that are applicable to future recruiting jobs

Cons

-Unrealistic sales and recruiting goals; the company is extremely eager to grow fast and sometimes I felt like this was at the expense of its dedicated employees -Turnover is extremely high, so the people that are dedicated to the business and stick through tougher times, have to train and retrain employees, which takes away from their overall production -There is a lack of empathy and willingness to work with employees through tough weeks, months and sometimes quarters if they are dedicated to the business and sometimes have already proven their work ethic; not everyone is perfect and when you turn your back on an employee that is truly invested in your company they will not want to stay; someone may lose a big client, or be going through something personal at home. These are just a few examples of tougher times employees may go through (especially with the volatility of the recruiting industry) and these times will test what the true values of your organization are: making money and fast growth OR truly investing in their employees long-term growth and success? -Trying to fit individuals into a mold of what they think the "ideal" recruiter or salesperson versus focusing on each employee's strengths; each individual will bring different strengths to the table that Piper and its team can benefit from -Hours and lack and work/life balance; the expectation cannot be that one works late nights or weekends every week, each person will get out what they put in and that should be their choice

Pros

Working at Piper has changed my mind about recruiting. I knew from an early age that I wanted to be in staffing. Shortly before graduating college I got an offer from a very small staffing agency and it was nice at first, but because the foundation was not formed by a recruiter but by a person that only cared about money it was not a great place to work. I wanted to stay in staffing and recruiting as it is a passion of mine. Piper found me as I was beginning my search for new positions. Through a few phone conversations I new it was the company for me as it has the backbones and values that I was looking for in a company.

Cons

We are in a temporary office space that makes it a little difficult to see everyone but it is just for a few more weeks.
