Softchoice reviews

Softchoice is a very rigid place to work. You are measured on so many metrics it's hard to get work done. Selling a solution is painful as you will be beaten up for not selling Microsoft licensing. If this is your first job out of college then its a great starting place, but everyone leaves after a few years. Just know that going in.

Impossible not to sound mercenary, but pay is notoriously poor for all elements; Sales complain endlessly about their still-superior pay, which demoralizes support groups. Recognition and fiscal incentive for the crucial, hard-working operational teams is notably lacking - many are self-motivated or strive because of their teams, not because of immediate management or reasonable rewards. There are some excellent mid-level managers, but again, Operations is afflicted with mutually-supportive ineffectuals, to the organization's detriment. High turnover in Sales positions destabilizes, while popular managers proceed through a string of Byzantine management roles. I've personally seen effective but less-popular team leaders and managers be passed-over for better connected candidates, regardless of their actual experience vis a vis the new role. For no apparent reason, upkeep of simple facilities (kitchen areas, bathrooms) seems to challenge facilities; cleaning is minimal at best.
