Pros

Good place to gain practical experience with a complex business model. Flexible with hours and vacation time off. Have some flexibility in switching departments and continuing to learn

Cons

Insider Clubs - schmoozing will get you in, And it's great (for you) if you achieve that. But if you're disinterested in being that slimey character, I fear you will be on the outside and ultimately become jaded.

Pros

Softchoice certainly is a great place to work because of the people. The atmosphere and social apects are worth noting. The training is good up until a certain point and they are very good at providing feeback and attainable goals. The benefits and vacation time are solid as well.

Cons

There is a lack of transparency and lack of leadership at the middle management level. The advertised beer carts and bring your dog to work differntiators are pretty much gone as the company stuggles to find an identify right now. The compensation certainly is below average and the workload continually increases in terms of daily/weekly/monthly goals.

Pros

A fun and casual environment. co-workers are great and friendly people! Can be long hours & hard work, but generally fun and upbeat. Not a cube-life environment. Benefits and vacation are good. Atmosphere and social aspects are good. People are young and not too corporate and very helpful to each other. The company and it's people are fairly socially-conscience in what they do and feel.

Cons

Downsides: generally (very) low pay, and low recognition for who actually does what. Treatment is not the same accross the board...depending on the role, these factors can be drastically different. Can be very draining.
