Pros

The culture is a huge selling point. Being able to bring your dog to work and have HQ in downtown Toronto is great. The people are young too. Good benefits and RSP matching program. Very involved with charitable work including 2 free volunteer days per year.

Cons

Not a great structure, the pay isn't comparable to other resellers of IT. There is quite a lot of turnover mostly due to salary issues. No clear path of progression, disconnects at different levels of the business.

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.
