Pros

What makes coming to work the easiest is that I ove the people I work with. I met some of my best friends working at Kforce. I feel that management is very flexible with me as long as I am working hard and hitting numbers. I love that the holidays are typically a slower time in IT so that allows for plenty of time off to enjoy the holidays with family and friends. I have always felt management has been flexible with me for any PTO days I request. The office is beautiful and we usually have drinks in the fridge and snacks in the kitchen for anyone to enjoy. One of the main things that keeps me here is the opportunity to make great money. This is an environment where you can definitely make well over 100K if you put in the work.

Cons

In staffing, the job itself is pretty stressful in nature. You're dealing with peoples livelihoods while mitigating budget issues with the end client. Jobs close with no explanation, start dates are delayed, candidates don't meet client expectations, clients lose funding - you need to be able to have very difficult conversations with compassion and be solutions oriented to make it in this industry.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
