Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

The motivation is to have recruiters put bodies in seats at any coast. During the recruiting phase the recruiter fundamentally misrepresented the position. While it is true that the work that was described is being completed I was place on a team doing different tasks. When the recruiter present the offer they resorted to high-pressure sales tactics including saying "if you don't accept this right now [on the phone] I'm going to go offer it to someone else."

Pros

1) Kforce invests a lot of time and money to hire and train staff with no experience in the industry. 2) Leadership is promoted almost exclusively from the Sales/Recruitment ranks. 3) Opportunities to move between lines of business 4) One of the better comp plans in the industry, especially for temporary/contract staffing. You can live off your base salary when ramping up, and the high commission checks can come quickly if you work hard. Kforce also tends to go for higher bill-rate work, which generally comes with more reliable/specialized contractors. 5) Fully remote work environment. An office space is available if you want to use it but not required. 6) Lots of freedom and flexibility in how you plan your day and do your work.

Cons

1) Kforce can definitely have a "move up or move out' culture. New staff are usually given about 3 months to start hitting their KPIs. As a result, turnover tends to be pretty high. I've seen a ton of trainees come and go since I've been here. 2) Kforce is VERY numbers-focused. You are expected to report your KPIs in a daily morning meeting in front of the team. You always know how you rank up against your peers, which can be a strong motivator if you're competitive (such as myself), but some people might find it demoralizing. 3) This industry is a grind, regardless of what agency you go to work for. There is a lot of internal and external competition, and you are essentially expected to build a book of business from scratch. You need to put in a lot of work during your first two years before you start seeking the financial returns. 4) Culture can vary wildly between teams. I have a great team that works very well together, but I've heard different stories from people on other teams.
