Pros

I entered Softchoice’s onboarding program in May 2015 and quickly found it to be the most motivating and enjoyable training experience of my career. As a recent University graduate, my experience in the industry of technology was limited, but I never felt disadvantaged because of my coaches’ unique, from-the-ground-up approach to corporate education. The basics of datacentre technology and effective sales techniques were discussed concurrently throughout four weeks of in-class training, so I learned about technology for the first time through the eyes of a sales representative. There was a lot more to learn from experience once I was in-role, but I believe my sales-tailored education helped me hit the ground running and find early success. Now outside of the classroom, I continue to learn and make use of the onboarding resources available to me. We often describe stepping into technology sales for the first time as "drinking from the fire hose." There is a lot to learn and it takes time no matter how fast you are. That said, I've felt supported and secure thanks to continued weekly meetings, one-on-ones with my development coach, and a corporate culture that encourages me to always ask questions.

Cons

My experience with the onboarding program was wholly positive.

Community oriented culture, fun team, dress code, partners, amazing perks, green company.

Cons

high pressure in sales. a ton of metrics that people are measured on... not necessarily bad but sometimes unfair and not the most effective way to evaluate people
