Pros

A paycheck until something better comes along. Some training and test taking. If fresh out of college you can meet with recruiters close to your age.

Cons

The consensus I'm finding with others that have tried KForce as job placement service have been nothing but negative comments and considered worthless. Who you talked to on the phone will not be the same person that you meet in person. You may get a recent college grad with low base pay and rest commission. Before even interviewing at a company to find out what the WHOLE position entails they want a wage per hour amount out of you. Which is only part of the total compensation package. The staffing/recruiter person sounded very young and inexperienced. It's your career! Why should you put YOUR career/livelihood in a person like this hands. MOST jobs aren't posted! In other words it's who you know. Especially here in the St. Louis area. Final reminder...Some reasons why companies use recruiters/staffing because the position has a high turnover and/or it's hard to fill from other ways e.g., present company employees have very little referrals and choose not to network outside of work, etc.... Always a good interview question, "Why is this position open?"

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.
