Pros

The people and culture is great there but it all depends on WHO your manager is. Still keep in touch with the great people there. There are some great leaders in there but if you get a manager that does not see your potential, I strongly encourage you to quickly ask for a different one.

Cons

The only con about this company is that management needs to be reviewed ASAP. Decisions are made subjectively and not objectively. A lot of high school mentality here. Depending on the manager, they do not necessarily focus on your value or potential and can be very cut throat. Feedback given was extremely contradictory so make sure you write down how you are doing in your performance and record EVERYTHING you do when speaking to your manager. A lot of people have been concerned about the way they handle the people here and warned me about this company having a lot of judgement and a lot of favouritism. In my experience, I have witnessed it but it does not happen to everyone because it all has to do on WHO your manager is. Amazing feedback given by one leader while getting extreme criticism from another means there has to be something wrong with management here. It all really depends who is going to support you. This is where the favouritism begins.They will most likely cover it up and say it's about "fitting into our culture". The feedback is not given in a formal or ethical approach as well. I hope they start to audit how the managers are doing in a formal way otherwise you will see a lot of employees leave.

Pros

Proactive, positive management. They lead by example and really want to help you succeed. The people here are super friendly and just all around lovely to work with. No pretentious hierarchical structure, if you have ideas, suggestions or any opinions you can share them openly. It's a work hard, play hard company. No micro managing. Go in and get your work done, they want you to have a good work life balance. I am into my fifth week at Softchoice and I'm absolutely loving it. They are passionate about their customers and their employees. Having worked at various companies with differing industries and structures including a big 4 Softchoice comes out on Top for me hands down. Couldn't say enough great things about this place!! Oh, and I can take my dog to work!!

Cons

If there are any I've yet to come across them.

Pros

Company Values and Corporate Culture were fantastic. Great activities and charitable programs. Nice tangible perks like catered breakfasts and lunches.

Cons

Management can vary drastically from team to team and your compensation is linked to your manager because the manager decides on your target for each quarter and year. This can either greatly benefit your or give you a disadvantage financially.
