Pros

I love the open culture that Softchoice encourages every employee to portray. It creates a positive and empowered working atmosphere. I love the young professionals that work here as well as everyone is relatively friendly and approachable. The frequent catered food is another huge plus. The amount of resources and support that is available is undeniably outstanding compared to companies I have worked for in the past. The office is also very bright and orange making it a vibrant office to be in. The Chicago location is conveniently located off of the Chicago Brown Line stop and is located in the upscale River North neighborhood. Working as a Business Development rep can have its challenges, but also comes with the opportunity to win big with the many spiffs and deal registrations available. The office seems like a family since it is still a fairly medium sized office. The training received was exceptional and very hands on.

Cons

While in sales academy the few cons that I encountered were the lack of system implementations. Going to repetitive vendor trainings was very vexatious especially since it took out a lot of our precious time from our schedule to be on the phones (which goes towards hitting the KPI's expected from us). There are a few improvements that could be made to the Sales Academy training program, but overall a very solid training program. Another con is the sometimes inaccurate orangle hustle kpi indicator; unfortunately it doesnt count placing orders into activity points which is a bummer because it could take up to an hour to get some orders straightened out in the Horizon system.

Pros

A great organization to be part of. Early on I received a high level of responsibility, executive interaction, and career coaching.

Cons

With a growing organization spread across two countries & the industry in near constant change the communications can be tough for those outside one of the major offices. The all in company monthly meetings and open dialogue goes a long way to help overcome this.
