Pros

- Free meals (but only when you're working through lunch - aka taking clients and candidates out to lunch) - There are some great people who work here. The type of people you will stay friends with for life. - Located near the highway (aka you can hop right on I40) - Great happy ours and events. - You won't be sitting at your desk all day long - you'll get to go and meet with candidates and clients onsite. Sometimes it's nice to get out of the office.

Cons

- It's like going back to high school. People will talk about you behind your back, everything is political, and you're constantly being judged. Want to leave at 5:30 to pick up your kid from soccer? Forget it. You must not be working hard enough... - Senior leaders are only looking out for themselves, don't let them fool you otherwise. - Opportunity for growth is only achieved by working 10-12 hours a day, and weekends. - Commission structure is not great at all. - Your title is recruiter, but you are really just in sales (except you're selling people, and that's even harder. If you haven't worked in staffing before, I highly recommend you research that alone (has nothing to do with Piper) - The company isn't really stable. They fire people left and right, with no reason at all, except for "they don't really fit the culture" - aka they just don't like you. - You are only liked if you are producing at a high level. - Do not expect to have a life outside of work. It will not be valued at all.

Pros

Piper is a young company with a very energetic culture. They have nearly tripled in size over the last 3 years and have very aggressive expansion plans.

Cons

Piper has a start-up feel so everyone in the office is committed to reaching their personal and team goals. With that, it can be difficult at times to keep a work/life balance.

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.
