Pros

-Leadership/your peers offer support whenever needed. -Met some great people through the company

Cons

There is a lot to say but the main con is the fact that people are let go every week. There is no job stability. They make it seem like the market going down is the teams fault. You will log on every day not knowing if it is your last. This causes extremely high stress. With the market going down, the whole structure of the company changed. When I started, I was told we were remote only. The CEO sent out an email and had multiple meetings with us expressing this point. Months later, when the market goes down, we are told we will be hybrid. Leadership says this has always been a possibly which is not what anyone was told originally. There is a lack of trust and a lack of stability within kforce. Leadership wants what is best for numbers, not employees. That is evident with the fact there are very few people who have been with kforce more than 2 years on ISS. If you want to feel like the work you are doing will actually yield results, I would look elsewhere.

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.
