Pros

If you work hard and don't mind working extra hours, the top performers make a lot of money off commission. Thankful for what that did for me personally and for my career. You get to recruit on a wide variety of things. If you're interested in a career in recruiting, its an excellent place to start. The teams (regardless of office from my experience) are generally pretty fun people.

Cons

Management does a good job of trying to distill the cutthroat reputation of Staffing and maybe they're better than other companies. With that said, everyone is just a paycheck to the person above them and there's few exceptions from that. They view you as replaceable - it's just hard to tell until you're in management meetings. Being in the office often reminded me of college / greek life. There's a lot of people just there for a good time rather then learning skills and performing. There's a gossipy culture that feels like High School. It took me leaving to realize thats not normal in an office setting.

Toxic work environment

Pros

Resume builder - They will hire you even if you do not have relevant experience (probably because turnover rates are unbelievably high)

Cons

No work/life balance, favoritism is obvious in every office and team, expected to be available at all hours of the day, you will be made to feel subpar daily, co-workers will throw you under the bus, NO opportunity for advancement if you aren’t in the right circle, management is disorganized and only focused on their pockets ($), if you aren’t drinking their kool-aid you are treated as an outcast, they set outlandish goals so you will NEVER hit your full bonus, pay and benefits are extremely disappointing.

Pros

Over my tenure working with the company the associates are the only thing positive that I got out of the company.

Cons

Expect to work long hours. They used to value work life balance but that is a thing of the past. 60-70 hours weeks are the new norm. If you have a life outside of Kforce, say goodbye to it now. They only care if you make excessive amounts of calls. The company is turning into a call center environment and people are leaving right and left for this reason. VP level leadership and middle management are now only focused on numbers and give little to no direction on how to build your book of business. I was left with empty promises from my director informing that they would assist me in my professional development as I had worked with the company for a few years and I did not receive any support. Not to mention, the monthly one on one's we were supposed to have didn't happen over a 4-5 month period. Where was that support I was promised? Nonexistent. Management will let people go if they do not like their personalities. The culture of an office that used to be great turned into the kind set of "who is next to go?" Everyone is walking on eggshells. Fortunately everyone at the associate level felt the same and we got through it together. Commission structure and annually salary structure desperately needs to be relooked at. It is not competitive. Especially since the company wants you to work 60-70 hour weeks, pay us for it or we all will leave due to burn out. The company promotes people that are NOT meant to be leaders and have no positive influential impact on individuals in any way. Instead middle management gets on you about your numbers but doesn’t help come up with a road map on how to get there if you are struggling, or taking in account that business is slow. Repetitive trainings and meetings can be cut in half. Half the days are spent talking on subjects that are completely irrelevant to what we do.

Thank you for sharing your experience as a former employee. It sounds like your work environment and management didn’t match what you were looking for. We’ll pass your advice to Management to our leadership team. Good luck in your future endeavors.
