Pros

Remote work Well known firm

Cons

I don’t even know where to start. This company is absolutely terrible and they do not care about their employees. My manager was verbally abusive, abusive of power, was extremely inappropriate towards myself/many others, did not respect boundaries, bipolar, the list could go on…. He had been reported to HR multiple times and would bribe and threaten employees to lie and defend him so he wouldn’t get fired (this was made aware to leadership/HR and they did NOTHING). Once people started standing up to him and his behavior, they would get fired. Leadership, HR and higher ups do not care to hear your side, how you were treated, affected and violated if you were a bottom level employee. Worked extremely hard for a great book of business and opportunities for my market that was then stolen from me right as things were about to go great for my business because I chose to stand up to my abusive leader. When I tried to reach out to a higher up that I was close with to explain what he was doing to me, I was blocked and ignored. Gave a list of examples and proof regarding his behavior and the wrongful termination and was continuously ignored and silenced. Was given zero explanation to my wrongful termination, no reasoning, no proof, no examples, no prior meeting to address behavioral concerns, nothing. This honestly is a dangerous environment for anyone to be in. I met some lovely co workers while here, and I hope something like this doesn’t happen to them. The whole situation truly is a blessing in disguise but I wish I knew what kind of company this before accepting the offer after they basically poached me from my prior job. No morals, no respect, hierarchy and a misogynistic workplace. Please run as far as you can from this place.

Pros

Kforce has a ISS department specializing in VISA sponsorship. Kforce holds the 3rd most VISAs in the nation passing Google. This opens up an enormous talent pool almost no other agencies have access to. also leading the nation in green card processing to set us apart from other staffing agencies. The leadership which is in place at Kforce is top notch. When you join the family, the leaders immediately start working on your career trajectory roadmap. They truly listen to where you envision yourself in the late stages of your career, and come up with tangible building blocks, elevating you until you reach that point and beyond. Kforce gives you everything you need to be successful. You can make as much money as you put into it. 60+ offices across the nation which interface with each other frequently, opens the doors to endless possibilities (70% of fortune 100 are clients). If I find a top talent that desires a job in any area of the US... I can help them get a job there. Every call you make, you have the ability to be a great resource for the individual. Also, with 60+ offices nationwide... if you or a spouse needs to relocate to a different city, most likely kforce has an office close by which you can transfer to. Fun work culture in office with numerous out of office team building events. Flexibility in the workspace as well. Our leaders are understanding of personal situations, and our business allows you to be productive while out of office. I moved to my office from a city across the nation, new to this area, and have found a family who I am excited to go in the office and see on a daily basis. We also have a blast out of office as well. All of our clients love and respect us. We have an outstanding footprint in the staffing industry with proven data to support our sales efforts. Its corny to follow the slogan, but I truly love who I work with and who I serve for clients.

Cons

they restructured the commission % split to encourage longevity of internal workforce. It has made a big difference from the previous model (jealous I didn't have the structure when I joined), but for most, it does take 6+ months to really start making solid commission checks, especially in CA with the 43% commission tax. outside of ramping commissions.... the resources we have as an enterprise, outweigh the split we get on each deal. Kforce offers so many differentiating resources to set you up for success, that you close way more deals than possible with other agencies who pay slightly more for each closed deal.

Pros

Some of the people are great... we had some of the top performers in the company in our office and a couple are genuine and will truly help you. Getting through the first year of torture will help write your ticket to any other place. I did get some work life balance there which is a plus.

Cons

Where to begin.... 1. Some top performers seem to think they run the company 2. Unprofessional management who get wasted with the team and try to be everyones friend. They don't know how to actually lead a team to success. 3. Incestual environment. Management dating/sleeping with girls on their team and causing problems for everyone. The amount of drama that one guy can cause is crazy. 4. Catty girls. Since they hire right out of college kids you get all the drama that comes with it. 5. Unrealistic expectations as far as KPI's 6. Comp plan is an absolute joke. They sell you the "dream" especially the recruiter and management and then there is no way to obtain it. Always using top performers to show you can make money but that is on old comp plans, not the current salary plus.
