Pros

Decent Pay and timely pay. Communicated initial time off to client.

Cons

The recruiter only cares about the money that goes in their pocket. I did not want to take the assignment. I told them I had a lot of family issues I was dealing with and would need a lot of time off in the next few weeks. The recruiter appealed to my sense of helping out others, so I took the job. Called back in the first week and stated I did not think I was a good fit. I came in on 6/1/10. I found out that bank reconciliations had not been balanced in 4 months, and they take 2 weeks to reconcile. Plus they were changing procedures. Also physician's contracts were to be converted to a new spreadsheet format as of 1/1/10. It had not been done by previous accountant. Assistant controller left for 3 weeks on vacation to another country before year end. It was a disaster waiting to happen. I repeatedly called KForce requesting to be replaced. My recruiter had gone on maternity leave and no one seemed to know what was going on. After 7 weeks on the job, and trying my best to catch up someone else's mess that was left, I quit. It was not worth the money and all the extra hours I did not even charge for.

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.
