A Rare Opportunity

Pros

Piper is great if you prefer to work in an unconventional environment where your voice and ideas have impact from day one. I have had a chance to develop my leadership ability and learn the ins and outs of the staffing industry while making great gains financially and professionally. Not many other companies have been this invested in my personal and professional development. Most companies would like for you to be successful, whereas my success is needed and depended on. The bonus is that I have been compensated well for that success and I have made great friends along the way.

Cons

The staffing industry is inherently challenging. We are a business focused on people and people tend to have wavering motivations, attitudes and beliefs. Learning to deal with the high points as well as the low points can be initially challenging, but there is a lot of support from the organization and management team.

Pros

Working at Piper you come to realize the opportunity that lies in front of you. When I started, I saw people who had been here for less than a year in recruiting who were able to skyrocket to success. They were immediately rewarded with a promotion to account management. As someone who is beginning a career, I am in disbelief of the opportunity ahead of me. I could not be more excited about the development of this company. The opportunity is there, you just have to work hard enough to take advantage of it. I interviewed at a number of other recruiting companies in the area. From 12,000 employees to 200, Piper had the best compensation and benefits package I had seen.

Cons

With recruiting it is really easy to take your work home with you. It is stressed that this is something management does not want you doing. The idea is to work as efficiently as possible during business hours.

Pros

Great professionals who are pretty good at what they do. VPs were leadership for a huge firm, so they know how to get the job done. You will learn a lot about running a business, how to develop professionally, and what kind of role you are meant to do.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, micro-management, and high stress. Competent people have been fired, or faced the prospect of being let go at one point or another.
