Softchoice reviews

The Seattle office just feels so toxic. Along with great people, there are some bad apples. It's truly feels like if you bring in a lot of money, you can get away with treating your teammates however you want - even if that (at any other company) would be a huge HR issue. The pay is not competitive, especially in the Seattle market. It doesn't feel like they care, even though they continuously lose great people to Amazon (and other companies, but mostly Amazon). And when people do chose to leave, often management doesn't handle it in an appropriate way - they either take it personally and/or give you the silent treatment - which is beyond weird. Also, professionalism in the office is very inconsistent, which honestly can be exhausting to be around. This office can drain you emotionally.

Speaking on just the location of where I worked (Seattle), they had below average management and organizational structure issues. If you already have experience, this is not the place for you as they are looking for a blank canvas to sell within their "strategy". They do have some good managers and employees but it seems that the decision makers are rookies in the bigger scheme of tech sales. Career path is terrible in this company as your compensation is limited by their pay structure and their promotions are either vendor specialists, outside sales rep, or one of the 4-5 manager positions which are barely vertical moves up. If they want to have a sale focused company, they need to open up the commission structure or have multiple levels of positions to move up through but currently as it is, it's in a strange middle ground. The training is also poor here as they start well but don't know how to progress you up to your position. I was promoted to my position within 2 months mainly because a bunch of people quit around the same time.
