Pros

I really enjoyed my team mates. Top performers get awarded. Brand recognition.

Cons

I truly felt that there was a general lack of respect for all people that began at the regional president level. His out-of-touch and ill-placed aggression trickled down to Director-level folks who became metrics-oriented (imagine being told to log fake CVs and Interviews that were of no value?). There is a huge lack of respect for minorities even though a huge bulk of the contractors KForce employees are such. They are very stingy with resources to the point where there is no established training program for sales if you have not proven you are a performer and there is definitely NO training for recruiters. The rules have become draconian and sales is forcing any unworkable job just to hit metrics and it is becoming difficult to succeed as a recruiter because there aren't enough viable jobs to work on. The commission structure is terrible. There has been a lot of shaming of people who think differently to the mainstream. High turn-over in 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.
