Pros

Sales academy training Culture Cool office and awesome location Support from staff/coaches/team Learning potential

Cons

Product knowledge is a lot

Advice to Management

Softchoice is a great place for tech sales. I’ve worked at companies 4 times it size before and never received such great sales training. The Sales academy is really effective and super informative, the support throughout it is very helpful. Honestly, they set you up for success. The company itself is innovative, senior management seems very strong. My only issue is with direct managers, sometimes I think re-evaluating...

Advice to Management

Move faster with your employee's desires to grow. Capitalize on top players across all levels of the organization. If you have a "Sales Advisory Board", chances are you might need this across the entire organization.

Pros

Great People Great Environment Accessible Office

Cons

No scope of growth Promotions not based on merit

Pros

Work-From-Home policy / is1 day/week. Work-life balance is there.

Cons

Poor use of technology for an IT solutions company. Legacy architecture and/or favouring "Managed Service Partners" makes for disparate IT components and therefore extremely inefficient working conditions. Daily book of business (workload) becomes harder to manage as working conditions remain stagnant. Employees at Customer Service level experience are being asked to implement workaround solutions of unintegrated infrastructure....

Male Dominate Company / Female leaders in traditional (female) roles. Majority of women leaders and reps have left the company. Monthly Sales Cycle is taxing on people and resources - Customers are highly attuned to the cycle and know where they have full negotiation leverage (end of the month).
