Pros

Met some cool people- they all quit or got laid off within 6 months after I left.

Cons

Everything. You WILL be a number. The company my team recruited for literally went on a hiring freeze, which I heard from my consultant and not Kforce management. We were still getting inundated with metric meetings, which ended up being 1-1 meetings to discuss my numbers. Got put on a performance plan after 8 months of middle of the pack performance in the middle of a hiring freeze. They have no chill and will gaslight you to no end until you fall victim to their tactics and quit on your own. Which lets them off the hook for paying out unemployment or severance. Oh and commission is AWFUL. It’s perplexing to me how people can stomach working there long-term.

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.
