Pros

Easy to get a job Silly, meaningless 'benefits' like free food and 'get a free beer on some fridays' which are sold as "great company culture". Only fools fall for this sort of rhetoric. If you're desperate, get a job here, but you won't be content with the work you do

Cons

Softchoice was an unauthentic company at its core in my opinion. They make value claims, like "we care about our people", but when the push comes to shove, they are like every other corporation. They're a sales driven organization. They don't need people who are creative and can think, they are looking for cogs in a wheel. They need people who can execute commands. Some management (sales training *cough cough*) is highly intolerant to new perspectives and views questions as threatening. Sorry folks, but that's not healthy for learning. Don't fall for their nonsense or excuses, use your common sense. Use your head. Some of the managers have a great way of putting a spin on things. These guys are high on something and like to preach the world through rose-colored glasses.

Pros

Great urban environment, dog friendly, in-house gym, beer car, training programs, work events, free lunches or afternoon snacks, and benefits are good.

Cons

* Extremely high turnover-rate due to horrible management. * Management play favorites. * If you have an issue or concern, keep it to yourself. If you display any negative feelings/thoughts, your soon to be out the door. * They encourage a team environment but they don't. Just sit at your desk and don't ask questions or if you do, it will come back to bite you and eventually you'll be fired. * Too many supervisors and managers. (too many hands in one pot) * Very high expectations to meet metrics, very competitive. (It's a dog eat dog world!)

Pros

Disorganized and little to no work life balance. Lots of nepotism like for example a rich kid getting a job because his dad was in The VP of Sale's wedding pary. Said rich kid then does very little work besides loudly objectifying women in the office. In a normal modern work environment that would get you booted out.

Cons

Disorganized, no work life balance, pigish male coworkers (bro culture plus), unclear objectives, nepotism is a huge problem (see above for one such example)
