Pros

I have been with Softchoice for almost 7 years and I am still growing and challenged. I started in inside sales and have successfully moved through multiple roles as my strengths were identified and opportunities arose. Softchoice invested me as a potential leader when the time was right and I am now being groomed for potential management opportunities. They have invested almost $1m in a new onboarding program to set people up for success in 2015 and beyond. This is a company to grow with your entire career.

Cons

A lot of complaints here are regarding salary. A large part of Softchoice's business model is that we're a Value Added Reseller and have access to nowhere near the profitability that publishers/manufacturers do. As a result they can't always afford to pay what other industry companies can when they set prices for the products they produce themselves.

Pros

Great Leadership in the industry and in the company. This is an organization that has integrity and provides transparency on issues and results of the company. Every mont the leadership of the firm communicates the state of the nation via live Webinars. We are currently expanding the sales and solutions headcount to increase growth in key markets in North America. Ambitious, smart hard working people should apply. Great training is guaranteed.

Cons

This is a demanding place. If you want to work hard and learn a lot you will be successful. If you are not keen on the Tech Industry you may find the learning curve to steep.

Pros

The culture really is great and the people are awesome. It's a really fun place to work and you can bring your dog. You can make some good money if you smash your quota and hit your accelerators.

Cons

The culture has changed drastically since they went private a couple years ago. Moving more towards high volume, transactional selling instead of solution selling. Real focus on dials (40 a day), so if you are killing your plan but not hitting 40 dials, you're called out. Managers are getting less and less knowledgeable and are not invested in helping you grow in your career. All this as you grind your way to plan for what most would consider an inadequate salary. which is probably why turnover is so high.
