Pros

Fun culture Unlimited potential if you work enough hours Get to build great relationships with clients and coworkers

Cons

To meet the deadlines that management will set for you, you will end up working until midnight or later as your working hours are needed to meet client expectations and drive new business. I thought when I started the late nights were just to get my feet off the ground, get my book of business going, and sort of 'test' my drive and ambition; but it has only gotten worse as time goes on. Every month I have new action items given to me to complete before the end of the month and it's either work on the weekends or nights to complete them as my metrics still have to be met on a daily and weekly basis, not to mention all the extra stuff clients are asking you for. Also, no yearly bumps in base salary. Not even the STANDARD 2-3% (and I won rookie of the year my first year and hit the next "career ladder" step they rave about during the hiring process, it's essentially a title change with no perks... AKA NOTHING) Sad part is I do really like working for Kforce and have no intentions to leave but it has just gotten ridiculous so i'm hoping someone sees this and decides to do something about it.

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.
