They don't practice what they preach
Pros
The determination and kindness of their team.
Cons
There are many cons. You could say I'm bias because I was let go without cause, but truthfully I thought of leaving many times before the decision was made. The management asks for your feedback but only takes new hires words with a grain of salt and favors those they've put in management decisions despite their condescending attitude and disregard for time of adaptation. Although they make continuous systematic improvements in their structure, and offer countless resource programs and ways for individuals to be a part of something bigger than themselves, the pay and title are insulting to the amount of knowledge and detail needed for the role, and I believe it is a deliberate move in order to underpay their valuable workers. The vacation days are less than industry minimum, despite years of complaints on this front - they've made no strides. I was personally attacked by the managers for matters regarding my personality and expected to showcase immediate changes despite doing all the work and additional learnings to be more of the non questioning soldier type they needed on their front lines. They say they grow their people first, but I went above and beyond; helping others at every opportunity, leading events, and meeting the demands of the customers and from the complete diversity of the role compared to my previous experience, I was actually quick study. The fact they just let me go without cause when I made a huge career risk to come there was a slap to the face, and shows that they have a specific persona that needs to be there... and if you're not it, you're out. If you are looking for slow development, low pay, and to be exhausted frequently with the work you do, with rewards not reaped for many years, SoftChoice is definitely the place for you.
