Pros

Great company culture. Solid managers and colleagues. Access to benifits, work from home once a week after 6 months and transit subsidy.

Cons

No cons, I strongly recommend Softchoice to anyone seeking a solid company to work for. Its an overall great company that cares about its employees.

Pros

- Softchoice Sales Academy and hands-on mentorship to enable your success - Great people, beautiful office - Great work/life balance and work-from-home perks once you are tenured 6 months - Phenomenal mentorship from management and upper management - strong diversity and inclusion committments - Great place to start

Cons

- The salary is low for the amount of work you do. (Salary should be around 50K in my opinion MINIMUM to start) - Depending on your sales territory and it's exposure it may give you a setback in doing as well as your peers. (Ie. Canada V.S Some U.S territories) - You only get commission after you hit 75% to your plan otherwise you get $0 - Commission strucutre complicated and nobody gets it - The draw they give you for the 6-months of $625 needs to be paid back in sales - The "promotion" structure is BS. You work very hard to get to a TSR Level 2 and you only get a $3,000 A YEAR increase and your quota goes through the roof. If you were once making decent commission, you get set-back by this promotion as it will take a while to ramp up again (unless you have inherited some great accounts) - High turnover rate due to the competitive market - a lot of people at Softchoice leave for a better salary offer

Pros

Dog friendly office, beer-cart Fridays, opportunities to win free trips from vendors. Great place to start career in IT if you have no experience.

Cons

Difficult to hit quota if you absorb poor accounts, work-life balance is awful, and pay is not competitive to industry standard.
