Pros

Softchoice is continually rated as one of the top companies to work for in Canada & that culture is reflected in the US locations as well. The company focuses on hiring good hearted, intelligent people with a positive attitude. Hard work & doing the right thing is very frequently recognized and Softchoice make a good effort to develop employees further both professionally & personally for those who are interested. All & all it's a fun company to be apart of & they provide the employees enough opportunity to succeed.

Cons

Sometimes the lack of communication about opportunities or how something works leads them miss lead & ultimately confused and frustrated. Just like most sales organizations it seems the opperations portion of the company is underserved and under appreciated. That is likely a issue that will never get resolved at most any sales organization though...

Pros

Softchoice has a very supportive environment for growth and development. You have the freedom to develop your own business and reap recognition. The people at Softchoice are amazing! By far why I enjoy coming to work every day. It's special to be able to work with people you can be friends with, admire, and be inspired by. I also believe in how SC does business, in the end its all about doing the right thing for the client.. Great industry and you can learn a lot!

Cons

Seems some ppl take advantage of the supportive environment and don't understand we are here to get a job done. The culture can be tricky, you can either work hard and get a ton of recognition or be average and sometimes 'get by' - that can be dangerous. I do think work life balance can be challenging, however I think this is the reality with any sales job. Technology is a fast paced business with clients that want everything now. More work = more $.
