Softchoice was always a cool company to work for because it had a dog friendly office, beer cart Fridays, pizza parties, etc. Lots of cool young people (depending on your department). The health benefits are pretty good compared to other companies.
Cons
Now that everyone is working from home, it's just an entry-level paying job with no real room for growth or more money.

What they tell you the role is definitely is NOT what it is. How they deceive you into taking this role is unethical. They promise you inbound and warm leads and claim to be the preferred AWS Partner but AWS doesn't want to deal with us at all because we don't have the technical staff qualified to support their customers. When we acquire AWS customers they wind up having a bad experience and Softchoice has a really bad reputation internally at AWS. They target ex AWS employees because they are already certified & they already have contacts. Meanwhile all the managers are not even certified, which means they don't know the content and can't talk with AWS Leaders effectively.
There's favoritism so some people are forced to call nonstop and send emails but the people with sales don't do that. To cover it up, they just started having those people make calls but several months of records tell a different story.
Management is extremely inexperienced and underpaid so they have side businessss and podcasts.
