Softchoice reviews

Softchoice is going through a large up-tick with hiring and growth. When ever a company does this there are growing pains, which are known and being addressed, but in the meantime, there are some processes that are dated and need updating. Manager training is lacking, but again being addresses with new programs. Salaries are a little under market value, but not totally out of wack. The sales teams are experiencing the largest growth and have the biggest pains, but it you stick it out through the training, you will be set up for great success and growth. Many of the new hires I guess feel entitled and are not willing to put in the time, but once you do the potential for good money is there. The ONL monthly calls are very heavy on numbers and sales and other teams get ignored with their additions to the 'bottom-line' and more employee recognition is needed across non-sales teams.

HR - priority seems to be only on recruiting - have lost focus on employee retention and seem inexperienced in handling issues. lack of trust/confidence in going to them with any issues. due to increased hiring for the sales - a lot of changes have happened and people are having issues with the growing pains Salary - comparable positions in the city start at a higher rate - need to close that gap faster - analyzing the salaries for years with no updates or changes is discouraging when looking at the future. people don't read emails!!! then ask questions that have already been explained.. multiple times. Some management is fantastic - where some may have been great at their jobs or a management favorite; but that does not mean they should be managing people. Provide them with some better management training . don't feel monthly company call should be an all in company call when 85% of the content is directed to only Sales - only make ops people stay half hour. Launch party - we are off in a different area doing the awards during the day- The Excellence award should at least be given out to Ops winners with the entire company so everyone knows why these 8- 10 people got it - it is a hard award to get since you get presidents club there are limited spaces compared to the amount of sales so its a big deal the entire company should know why they got it.
