Pros

Camaraderie Nice coworkers Events beer-cart fridays pizza lunch once a month

Cons

sales reps get most of the perks i.e. free food, travel perks etc. lack of direction with management new CEO and culture seems to have shifted ageist company. A lot of young people and its not diverse in terms of age. I saw a lot of hardworking people on my floor let go that were older than the majority of the people.

Pros

- Easily the best Canadian Microsoft LAR (large account reseller) primary due to exceptional Solution Architects and Licensing Specialists. - Massive national pool of excellent subject matter experts to draw from. - Effective and matured managed services offering that elevates all solutions. - Strong company culture, effective annual Launch event that brings all employees together is very much worth the investment. - Primary sales training event was excellent, investment in Jill Harrington well worth it! - Very effective at proper recognition and incenting of leading reps creating a genuine drive to overperform

Cons

- Accounts alignment frustrations, completely unnecessary infighting with an internal division that's supposed to only handle the smaller accounts. Black and white alignment of quotas based on last year's sales is a poor measure of future expectations, create hot potato accounts. - Experienced a poor decision to move Inside reps vital to success from a west coast base to Toronto head office, 3 times zones away, this created high turnover of great people and lack of new rep accountability. - The insistence to be everything to everybody dilutes customer value, focus on doing fewer things exceptionally well (like Microsoft) rather than too many things OK.

Pros

Some of the best people I have ever met work at Softchoice. It's filled with people who have big hearts and work hard.

Cons

In short, the Senior Leadership Team is the problem. Time for some fresh new thinking at the top. The problem is, instead of looking in the mirror and asking how he can improve his own leadership, the CEO will likely ask the leader of People to investigate who posted this review.
