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.
