Softchoice reviews

I found this site after a friend decided not to accept a job at Softchoice due to all the negative reviews. There are a lot of extremely positive reviews (suspicious) and extremely negative reviews. Not a lot of balance. I had a good experience at Softchoice. When I joined, I was relatively new to sales and to technology. I started as an ISR (inside sales). I knew nothing and got paid accordingly. After a couple years of experience, I moved into outside sales. By then, I had a little more skill and got paid a little more to "manage my territory". After about 5 years total, I left Softchoice early 2011 and took another technology sales job. I more than doubled my income in the first year and this year looks even better. I recommend that non-experienced individuals who want to get into technology sales consider Softchoice as a career step. There is a lot of turnover in all areas of the company, but I can only speak with authority of the sales areas. A and B players do not stick around long and move to greener pasture. Depending on experience when hired, 5 years or more is a long time. I would say 5 years is about right for someone right out of college. Some B players, but mostly C players stay in sales or move into management. A few D players survive, but most are let go. F players are rarely hired. I was probably a B player. I hit my numbers but never really blew it out. I focused more on increasing my skill set than in hitting the crazy metrics that they measure. That was a good strategy that has paid dividends for me.

The people, the dogs. Formerly a great culture, which has deteriorated in the past year. Many good people have left due to the changes, morale is at a low. Disappointed.
