In search for a new position it wasn’t about just the compensation and title. I was really looking for a company where I can bring years of experience to the table but still continue learning “how to do it better”. Kforce has a great senior team that has been with the company for many years and they are guiding me through how to step up my game in selling Kforce Solutions using their proven methodology. (Note: Comp plans are great!)
Culture was also very important to me. Because we spend so much time with the people we work with, I wanted to work with positive, supportive, collaborative and fun people. I found them at Kforce!
Cons
Being a more senior level person, it would be great to see some others that are experienced in sales join the team. Other than that, no cons!

We're so thrilled to hear that you enjoy your role and our company culture. Thank you for leaving a review!
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.
