Pros

- good mix of classroom, hand-on and on the job training. - While the training is challenging it’s definitely rewarding for those who are willing to go the extra mile and meet expectations. - The program is definitely structured in a way that prepares you to hit the ground running once in role. - Sense of accomplishment upon completion of program - Feel prepared and eager once training is complete - You can bring your dog to work, free food at least once a week, fun break room, young office

Cons

- 80 to 100 cold calls a day, cold calling is a necessary evil but gets significantly easier once you're out of role and have a book of business - Metrics can be a little much at times during training

Pros

I cannot express in words how beneficial my experience at the Softchoice Sales Academy was to my career in IT sales. As a Corporate Account Manager, it is critical for me to provide unsurpassed value to my clients; therefore I need to not only be able to correctly identify my clients' pain points and needs, but have sufficient knowledge about information technology in order to recommend a solution and base this solution on the desired business outcome for the client. Softchoice Sales Academy's emphasis on solution selling, development of business acumen, and education on all things IT allowed me to develop the precise skills required for me to fulfill my role to the best of my abilities. The time I spent at the academy was truly the best job training I have ever received from an employer.

Cons

In regards to the onboarding process : nothing major to complain about. A few too many videos to watch if you do not learn that way.

Pros

I have been working for Softchoice for 5 months now, and it keeping getting better! I was offered the opportunity to work for Softchoice in Mid-March. This meant moving from a small town in Michigan, living in a hotel for 4 weeks for training in Toronto and then moving to Chicago. Big decision, right? Softchoice did an exceptional job of making the decision as simple as possible. For one, the benefits whether health or financial are great. But a huge reason was the culture. At Softchoice, the culture is something that other organizations should emulate. I’ve never been in a work environment where people generally care for one another. Where you aren’t nervous to ask a question in fear of looking ridiculous. Whether you’re the lowest on the totem pole or the manager at the office, everyone treats you with respect. Not to mention the fun events that we’re privileged to attend. I strongly suggest giving Softchoice a chance if you are looking for a career that lets you grow in an ever expanding industry. Spread the Orange!
