Pros

The Austin office is a fun hard working culture. We try to keep a good mix of fun with monthly team building events, ongoing philanthropy and fun in the office. Given it is recruiting and sales in a competitive landscape, we do work extremely hard and take our craft seriously, always trying to get better. The leadership in Kforce and within the Austin office, from the time I started out as an Account Manager, Market Manager, Director and up to where I am today has provided me ample career advancement. My hard work, good comp plan(s) and support from peers as well as all levels of leadership have helped me achieve a great earning potential during my 10 years with Kforce. One of the best parts about working for Kforce over the past 10 years in addition to career growth and earnings is that I have made good friends as well as have learned a tremendous amount about business, leadership and myself over the years. I've worked for three other reputable technology consulting/staffing firms and Kforce is by far my favorite for all of the reasons stated above.

Cons

As with any large company there will be challenges to work through in various areas. I can say that at my level, I know with certainty Kforce has been working hard over the recent years to help eliminate or provide greater support to the associate population (Recruiting, Sales, Market Managers) to help manage through the various challenges one may face in a larger company. As an associate at times the initial ramp can be challenging as others have stated on Glassdoor. For those with a strong work ethic & are solutions oriented, who do not need to see instant gratification and trust in the plan, it is very rewarding. Data shows that if you can work hard through the initial ramp, (time frame varies per person but 12-24 months) most associates are well into or on track to make a six figure living and have started to work on their career track plan with management. In Austin, there is a great support system in place and we continue to strive to get better based on feedback from current and former associates as well as Senior Leadership.

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.
