Pros

Laid back culture, incredible training and reasonable hours.

Cons

Sales centered to the core. When I started, I inherited the majority of my accounts from former employees that have quit or fired due to poor performance. So when I introduced myself to my clients, they were already done with Softchoice and moved to a competitor. Then I was still responsible for hitting my sales numbers for accounts that will never spend another dime with us. Talked to my manager, he helped a little as best he could, but I was simply not set up to succeed where other people inherited great accounts and barely worked to bring in the sales. No complaints, just kind of a bummer hand to be dealt.

Pros

Remote work Recently acquired by WWT

Cons

What they tell you the role is definitely is NOT what it is. How they deceive you into taking this role is unethical. They promise you inbound and warm leads and claim to be the preferred AWS Partner but AWS doesn't want to deal with us at all because we don't have the technical staff qualified to support their customers. When we acquire AWS customers they wind up having a bad experience and Softchoice has a really bad reputation internally at AWS. They target ex AWS employees because they are already certified & they already have contacts. Meanwhile all the managers are not even certified, which means they don't know the content and can't talk with AWS Leaders effectively. There's favoritism so some people are forced to call nonstop and send emails but the people with sales don't do that. To cover it up, they just started having those people make calls but several months of records tell a different story. Management is extremely inexperienced and underpaid so they have side businessss and podcasts.
