Pros

My recruiter, account manager, and 1:1 manager were all great. Client was really fantastic. My manager at the client was wonderful too. Great role they found for me at a good rate.

Cons

There are no paid holidays or PTO. If you don't work, you don't get paid. When the client has paid holidays, you don't get to work. I didn't understand this when I agreed; it ended up reducing my overall compensation by a lot more than I was prepared for. Kforce does not have 401k matching, nor do they contribute much to medical premiums for anyone in your family but you. The highest I'd ever paid for medical premiums before Kforce was $287/mo (I know, I was lucky). With Kforce that jumped to $1100/mo, which isn't any better than I could have found on my own in the government marketplace.

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.
