Pros

The site I work at is central within the city and is beautiful. Great location.

Cons

Every day, you have at least 5 updates you need to give to your managers about what you are completing or how many interviews you have completed. The process itself is extremely intense and the pressure is very high in the workplace. At the end, the recruiters are accountable for how many numbers they pull in for each stage of the recruiting process. Managers only care about numbers and if you aren't pulling as many as the high number they expect, they will set up multiple trainings and 1:1's with you. The base salary practically the only money you will see. Do not believe you will receive a significant commission, because you will only receive 3% of the commission you've earned. The rest goes to Kforce. So, you can do the math. Imagine calling hundreds of people about a role, and only a few being interested. After that, if you submit someone for a 60,000 role and they accept (if they accept), then you will only get 1800 at the end of the year. The level of work you do is very high and responsibilities are endless. You could easily be doing an easier role at another company and get paid the same at the end.

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.
