Pros

Many of these reviews are for people contracted to work at other companies through KForce, not KForce internal employees. It's a bit misleading. Pay is good, I look forward to coming to work every day, coworkers are friendly, intelligent, and enthusiastic about what they do. While some recruiters may not be very responsive, everyone I've met at KForce thus far has been very courteous and compassionate towards the people they contract, and it feels like a two-way street that's focused around building a relationship with their contractors and clients, not simply head hunting. We are working with candidates who are getting dozens of calls a day from other recruiters. In order to function, we need to treat our candidates with respect and integrity, and that's what I've seen working here. I've only been here for a short while, but I honestly love working here. Lots of (earned) flexibility as well. If you're a good, consistent employee, you can modify your hours a bit (come in an hour earlier and leave hour earlier) or work remotely some days.

Cons

Benefits aren't great -- have to pay out of pocket for sub par coverage. But good pay makes up for that.

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.
