Pros

I came to Softchoice very young, nervous that I didn't have what it takes to grow a career. I was in the marketing department. I was met with amazing leaders, managers and colleagues, and it's turned into a life changing experience. I was always blown away by their focus on individual growth. You get the feeling they care about your life, and not just the company bottom line.

Cons

As a sales organization, the other departments sometimes don't feel as important, and that can be discouraging. Especially for us millenials.

Pros

Location, Office space are very nice. They use this as a hiring incentive..

Cons

Direct manager had no idea how to manage a IT department. No technical knowledge and very bad management skills. Like to play favorites with certain people. Pay was low. They talk about work life balance but this applies only to your life at Softchoice could care less if you had a family and commitments outside of work.

Pros

Take your dog to work - Downtown location Softchoice Cares Events Beer cart Friday - 1x month Sales teams are like family

Cons

Promote a culture that isn't actually true; claim to be all about their people but will let them go/cut them without a second thought Benefits were fabulous; until a year or so ago, they were cut and presented to employees in a fashion as if in their best interest. They've made it more expensive to get medications, more difficult to obtain reimbursements and just plain cut other awesome benefits that made them stand out for example, the "green commute" incentive Currently in a wage & bonus freeze however, the CEO and SLT still receive enormous salaries Internal resources are so over worked its difficult for sales cycle to close in a timely fashion unless you're close with someone in the area you need assistnace with. Not enough training provided to sales to focus on areas of the business the SLT want to see grow Very overworked for minimal compensation
