Pros
- Employees can typically gain a large amount of hands on experience in a very short time, making it very easy to find re-employment when the time comes - Parking is free - Prepares employees for hard core corporate atmosphere - Major initiatives are always changing and often implemented just to be undone months later, making work interesting and "fast paced" - Everything is a secret, which makes work seem much more exciting than it really is - Depending on if you are the flavor of the day, your value at the Firm could be astronomical. (Although the fall from the top is a long one and can happen at anytime and for any (no) reason) - Reporting is inconsistent, so you can appear to make money with low/negative margin, small time deals for a very long time before being discovered - Anything goes when it comes to making a sale, no holds barred
Cons
- Not a great place to work anymore - that tagline is a distant memory - Politics, gossip and groupthink now define Kforce - Career progression is not well defined, encouraged or planned for - Although a corporation by name, most decisions are made at the field level. Many "Mom and Pop" practices still in play which makes it difficult to scale and grow efficiently. - The "Mom and Pop" mentality also prevents consultants from being consistently employed - Not keeping pace with industry developments like technology, urban development and professional development - There are no leaders, just folks in managerial roles - The brand is highly inconsistent, making resume building with a career at Kforce a bit tricky. You never know when a future employer may have had a completely horrible experience with the Firm. - Employees are expendable and are let go with ease - You will be expected to work long hours with little reward or recognition - Stagnant management - Unrealistic and undefined strategy to get to a $ figure makes it difficult to understand your role
