Pros

Kforce overall has amazing people. I met some great friends there.

Cons

I would not recommend working on the ISS team. They make it seem like you will be a normal recruiter when in reality you are not. You have no control over a lot of your business and you have to wait sometimes 6 months to see your commission. In the beginning they will tell you “just do what you can control” but that is not true. They will treat you like a money making robot and they only care about you if you are making money for the firm. This leads to extremely high turnover. Most people don’t even make it past the training team. this also comes from the training manager who tends to be rude and confrontational. One of my main issues with this team was that the leadership didn’t follow Kforce values of “putting people first”. I was hired with the intention of being remote and not ever having to go into the office. (Even received an email from the CEO saying we would never have to go in) When the market declined and the team started not doing as well, we were all of the sudden forced to go back into the office. When confronting leadership their response was “we hired everyone with the intention of going back in office”. I could go on and on about the issues that occurred but overall, there was bad communication, lack of transparency, and not enough job stability. If you want to go to work and not fear every day that you are going to loose your job I would look somewhere else.

Pros

Strong team culture and supportive coworkers have been the biggest highlight throughout my 11 years. The people you work with genuinely make a difference day to day, and there is a real sense of collaboration and respect across teams. Work‑life balance is another major positive—there’s flexibility and understanding that helps make the workload manageable, which is especially valuable in today’s job market. The company also offers stability, and long‑tenured employees are common, which speaks to the overall environment.

Cons

While I’ve gained a wider range of skills and taken on additional responsibilities over time, opportunities for upward growth or role progression have been more limited. In some cases, increased responsibilities are added without significant changes in title or advancement. For those looking for clear career progression, that may require more proactive navigation or looking outside of traditional paths.
