Pros

I truly think it depends where you work - if you're in Seattle or Toronto it's a wholly different experience than if you're in Chicago, for example. I worked in Chicago and it was good before they went private and quickly went downhill after. But they try really hard to keep culture strong and have beer on Fridays, casual-ish dress codes, foosball, cool office location, good benefits.

Cons

The sales team is always getting crushed by CDW and SHI who are much bigger, non-Canadian companies. Rotating sales managers in Chicago meant uncertainty and unhappiness as well as high rep turnover. Comp plans often came out 4-5 months into a given year. Most people seemed pretty unhappy in their role except for the very few who were in the inner, inner circle.

Pros

It's a Canadian company, so the benefits are good...

Cons

..but they're getting worse. They have a moratorium on raises, and don't give you your profit sharing if they don't meet their "numbers". Management switches tactics every few months, which results in layoffs that no one sees coming. It's just not a stable company anymore.

Pros

Culture is AMAZING Play Hard and Work Harder!

Cons

No clear direction, management says on thing, and you are tasked with another. Focused on one "new thing" to sell each year and other business segments fall to the waste side.
