Thank you for this input. It's clear that your experience with Piper was less than ideal and we are very sad to see it. However, this feedback is very helpful for us. It helps us know how our efforts are being received as well as what can be done differently so a positive environment can be felt by all Piper employees. Although no one enjoys receiving negative reviews, we recognize they can be very useful in guiding the future of Piper, so we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Pros

Hey! It's general aviation. If you are enthusiastic about the industry, there will be much to like. I worked with many good people - especially in my department.

Cons

Since the 1970's, Piper - like most GA companies - has struggled to find good owners and CEOs. If you want to work here, you will simply have to accept the fact that you will get a red forehead - from banging it on the wall too often as you consider the next bofo decision handed down.
