Pros

This is truly the best work environment I have every worked in. The Delivery Manager is a kind, honest, and hard working manager. She manages the recruiter that find me talent and I couldn't be happier with her and her team. The recruiter's treat me with respect and genuinely care about my client. I also receive excellent support from National Recruiting Center, my direct manager, and my Strategic Account Director's. I actually started off as a recruiter almost 2.5 years ago and since then have moved into an Account Management position with one of our top Fortune 50 clients. My income has steadily increased from 46K my first calendar year to 75K my second full calendar year, and will likely be 120+ for my full third year. My fellow Account Manager's that have been with the firm for 5+ years make 200K+. They are also with top clients and have put in the time to be where they are at. I am given a lot of freedom to come and go as needed. I get to work onsite at my client on a regular basis, and as long as I perform and hit my numbers I am relatively given freedom to run my business as I see fit. Expectations are reasonable, but if you aren't an A-type, driven, energetic personality.......you are wasting your time and Kforce's. This job is for people who like to win, but more importantly people who HATE TO LOSE. If you are just looking for something to hold you over for a year or so.......you aren't going to capitalize at the opportunity at hand. I've read a lot of negative comments on here about Kforce and as far as I'm concerned a job like this is only going to be worth it if you are a hard worker with a positive attitude. Otherwise, you should probably just get a boring HR job that pays 50K a year and show's no possibility to jump up your pay by 20-50% a year. I'm a success story at Kforce and I have seen a lot of people come and go. Turn over is crazy, but if you make it past the first 1-2 years and have the traits I have listed you can expect to make over 100K by year 3. I also really enjoy the pleasure of working with the consultants. They are so appreciative when you treat them right and it's nice having people who depend on you. Karma is a real thing in this business and if you take care of people you will be in turn taken care of.

Cons

Stress......all IT Staffing jobs are like this. Also, you are always checking your email.....mainly because you care so much about your job and don't want to miss taking care of important business. You have to work with people ALL the time!!!! I see this as a positive, but other's may not. When you first start your work life balance won't be great. It can be, if you don't care about succeeding, but if you do want to make it and make it successfully you can expect to work 50 hours a week your first year and maybe some weekends.

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.
