Pros

They allow dogs and some of the 'real' people on staff are exceptional

Cons

Management playing favourites, high school mentality, SLT really has no idea what is really going on with the staff. They honestly think that they are fabulous when everyone is working 60hr weeks and being paid less than a Burger King employee. Oh, don't even think about going to HR......whatever you say to them is all over the office in less than 1/2hr. They keep lazy, butt kissers who get other people to do their work and lay off the people who were slaving for them. They are also a very shallow and racist group.....if you are not white, gorgeous and stacked forget about going anywhere in the company, forget about being valued, your just a work horse to be tossed aside. And the guys are even worse, talking to your breasts(even the CEO) and drunken bed hopping during company 'Rally & Launch'. Very young and immature group of managers with zero training(actually had a manager tell me that they were afraid to speak to an employee about behavioural problems). Really bad experience, at first blush it seemed awesome, then the honeymoon was over...very quickly(max 1 month) and things kept getting worse and worse. People are hiding and crying in frustration, smoking in anxiety and just plain pissed off most of the time. the 'Orange bleeders' are the 'chosen ones'-kiss butt, drink and party with the right people and voila! if you are a grown adult who doesn't party and drink yourself into a stupor every single night, Softchoice is not for you.

Pros

Can't think of anything good to say

Cons

Have you ever watched Superstore? Well it's exactly like working there "Promote from within" "We take care of our people" They love buzzwords but won't actually give people higher wages or opportunities. They only promote from within if you're part of the right clicks :) They only take care of you if you're willing to kiss a**

Pros

Shelter from the elements; Dogs in the office; Some genuine people

Cons

In the interest of just moving on, I’m not going to get into the nitty gritty; suffice to say, I felt many employees were under paid, under appreciated, over worked, and fed a meaningless corporate message I wasn’t going to post a review until a friend of mine indicated he was interested in starting there... As an ex employee who feels taken advantage of by the company, I’d be doing him and any future potential hires a disservice to not share my feedback (/warning). Let’s call it what it is: putting other people’s products on your paper, for paper thin margins... cool.
