Pros

- There are a ton of opportunities to learn and develop new skills and take on projects that would normally be outside of one's typical job scope within most other corporations. - Having the opportunity to work closely with managers. Communication is very open at Softchoice and it is a very collaborative environment to work in. - This is a hardworking enviornment, generally work volume is full (across all positions) so it's a great place to work for someone who enjoys a challenging work environment. - Goals oriented company, very entrepreneurial culture. - Great commissions and incentives in place for sales people. - A great place for junior sales people to start their career, learn, develop and progress within the company. - Bring Dogs to Work - Green commute subsidy - Great benefits package - Gym on site, free of charge. Socially conscious company: - Softchoice Cares program - 2 paid volunteer days per person, per year. - Green committee (SC is committed to being 'green' and adopting green technology strategies).

Cons

- Not a great place for employees who want to progress without going through the proper time lines, mastering their current position and meeting the appropriate goals communicated.

Pros

I feel that Softchoice is an amazing place to grow your career. For those that are not out spoken or don't out right ask for it they may not realize all the career development opportunities that exist. Softchoice has a practice of giving it employees more responsibility and ownership then perhaps they should have at their given tenure or experience but it's that trust that is placed in you and those experiences that really growth and stretch you. Some employees may not like that and see it as extra work but for those employees that want to be challenged you will thrive in this environment. My advice to anyone that is not feeling challenged is speak up and ask! So often we wait to be asked or bestowed upon by our manager but be in charge of your own career development, don't wait for your supervisor, manager or even VP make those decisions for you. Overall the culture is great, very friendly coworkers always willing to help out.

Cons

There is often an impression that the sales team get more perks then the operational folk, it can be true at times but I think that's the case with any sales company. I think executives to try to make it fair for ops employees but often those sales perks are funded by vendors and operational employees just don't get a slice of that pie.
