Pros

I really enjoyed my team mates. Top performers get awarded. Brand recognition.

Cons

I truly felt that there was a general lack of respect for all people that began at the regional president level. His out-of-touch and ill-placed aggression trickled down to Director-level folks who became metrics-oriented (imagine being told to log fake CVs and Interviews that were of no value?). There is a huge lack of respect for minorities even though a huge bulk of the contractors KForce employees are such. They are very stingy with resources to the point where there is no established training program for sales if you have not proven you are a performer and there is definitely NO training for recruiters. The rules have become draconian and sales is forcing any unworkable job just to hit metrics and it is becoming difficult to succeed as a recruiter because there aren't enough viable jobs to work on. The commission structure is terrible. There has been a lot of shaming of people who think differently to the mainstream. High turn-over in leadership.

Pros

sometimes flexible, decent well paying

Cons

I personally had a poor experience with KForce. The culture of a "family" is not accurate. After working there for several months many co workers didn't know my name yet [small office, maybe 25 people]. My entire experience can pretty much be summed up that on my first full day- i thought the office was closed because no one showed me/told me where to go into the building first thing in the morning. Pretty ironic that a company that specializes in staffing for others does such a poor job at welcoming/retaining their own staff.

Pros

An industry with a lot of opportunities. Large company with good financial backing. They are able to sponsor visas - which is a great asset in recruitment.

Cons

Like any national company, every office will be different in terms of management, culture. The Milwaukee office was a good place for many - for equally as many, it was shockingly terrible. During my time there, I saw over 4 people fired within their first week after just having been recruited from their previous position. The firings were for minor offenses. If you're likable and don't have a habit of speaking out of turn or challenging ideas, you will do fine. If you're someone who wants to be creative/innovative in your work: you will be ostracized. Bottom line: if you're likable and are completely OK doing exactly what you're told no matter the level of ridiculousness: you could have a great experience. But if you don't play the political game, your life will be hell. As of 2018.
