Pros

- you work with some great people and will make awesome friends - Happy hours and after-work bonding - overtime pay is time and a half - ping pong table

Cons

Like every job, your experience completely depends on your manger. Some teams always make Friday early out goals, others never do. Some teams receive promotions and raises quickly, others don't. Some managers are more approachable than others. You will constantly hear about all of the opportunities at Kforce, but statistically, there are not enough promotions to go around. The more I hear them preach about great opps, the more it feels like they're trying to brainwash me.

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.
