Pros

great to start in the IT sales world, base knowledge of sales required, parking paid

Cons

Base salary is low, commissions horrible, constantly harassing clients, long work days, weekly lunch trainings not always paid and very repetitive (can have the same training 3 times in one month ie VMware techcheck). expected to work 45+ hours a week (only paid for 40), must brown nose your way with management, management unfit to lead a team. 90% of the vendor sales specialist are useless, they always "will get back to you with that one" and can take weeks to answer your questions. Greedy company that puts 100% of the blame on sales reps.

Pros

Great location (renovated old factory building). Young, energetic workforce. Sense of fun, and the dogs on premises and monthly beer are kind of fun.

Cons

Chaotic environment. Operations employees severely undervalued and underpaid. Senior leadership not interested in new ideas or critical thinking and has knee-jerk negative reaction to anything perceived as disloyalty. Extremely high turnover makes things worse, and no processes in place mean things change constantly for no reason. Horrible place for women to work - frat boy party mentality and almost no senior women (the few the had have all left in last year). Lots of mistrust from employees since they suffered salary cuts and rollbacks during recession and talk of "we're all in this together" and then SLT rewards themselves with 100K + bonuses.

Working at Softchoice

Pros

Great work life balance overall

Cons

The pay is not worth it for the amount of work that is required to be done. Management will keep adding more responsibilities on your plate without increasing your pay. You will be overworked and stressed out. They will make you feel very unappreciated when you're not hitting your numbers or generating pipeline, forgetting the months that one was hitting their numbers.
