Pros
- GREAT, intensive training. You are not just thrown into the wolves - Fun outings (Happy hours, promotion celebrations) - Free lunch and coffees, although they are only when you have them with a client - Uncapped commission - Modern, spacious new office - Great location, easy parking
Cons
- Very low pay and commission structure. Other staffing agencies in the area pay a higher base + commission %. - This is not a 9-5 job.. in order to "succeed" in their eyes, you should be in by 7:30am and leave no earlier than 7pm. They WILL complain at you for leaving before 6pm. - Poor business planning: they decided to hire a ton of new people (recruiters, mainly) in a short span of time, yet were not able to provide the business for them to recruit on. - False advertising in job security: they made everyone think that they were doing so well, that they were going to open several new offices in the coming year YET laid off 15+ employees in the following 2 months after that. Several of them were ones that were recently promoted or even hired. This goes back to poor business planning. - Staffing is a production environment but you shouldn't have to yell/nag at your employees twice a day for not reaching sufficient numbers that they liked. A lot of these numbers depend whether someone answers their phone that day or not.. At least have some compassion in that fact. - A lot of gossip and politics.. talking bad about someone behind their back yet praising their hard work to their face. - They make you sign a non-compete so that you cannot work for any company that they have even briefly tried to work with. They will try to sue you. - Does not keep their "Piper Promise." People DO NOT Matter to them. You are just a number to produce, and if you do not meet their standards, you will be let go without warning.
