Pros

I have had an exceptional experience so far at Piper Companies. I started this position after I had graduated from college, and I couldn't be happier with my career decision. The team was very welcoming from the start and very thorough with training. As I grow, I feel fully supported by all of those around me and feel comfortable giving feedback. The team is very collaborative and competitive, and we celebrate our individual/team accomplishments. There is also a very good work/life balance. The DEI Council has also been very active in creating educational training sessions, newsletters, and engagement.

Cons

Since my time here, I have not had a negative experience. I would say that it is very important to prioritize and organize your schedule, there is a lot to learn and it can be overwhelming if you are not fully prepared.

Pros

Some of the employees are friendly.

Cons

It is an extremely emotional and unprofessional work environment. I have never worked for such a poorly run and operated company in my 30 years of work. Also, the open PTO is a scam and you are frowned upon if you use it. DO NOT work for this company. There are plenty of staffing firms that want to support you, this is not it.

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
