Pros
Great coworkers, relaxed office environment, lots of employee activities going on, plenty of opportunity to socialize with other coworkers.
Cons
Very high turn over, especially in sales. managers seem to care more about your stats than any concerns employees have. They advertise "work from home" but its at the managers discretion.

Pros
No pros at all, terrible company
Cons
Terrible on-boarding team. My trainer just started at the company 5 months prior to my training session. My trainer was not honest and lied to me. Got fired after three weeks of working there.
Advice to Management
When you hire someone it shouldn’t be a sports tryout, when you hire someone you should feel trust in there knowledge and train them to become successful not to fire them after two weeks of getting hired.

"They think very highly of themselves"

Pros
Pretty office with coffee and fancy flavoured water.
Cons
Senior team won’t respond to a hello or good morning if they don’t think your rank is high enough. Some people will actually look the other way when you greet them. That speaks volumes about the real company culture. People who think too highly of themselves and who don’t really care about anyone other than themselves. Do you think that a culture like that will lead to good results in the long run? Don’t be misled... by the pretty pictures on their website. Everyone smiles for the camera and quickly returns to their self-absorbed cubicles.

Care about all your employees, not just your leadership team. And for crying out loud, don’t pretend you didn’t hear a “hello” and turn your face. Makes you look bad. Makes the company look really bad.

Pros
Ive worked at softchoice for over 3 years and made some of the best friends of my life. Lots of free events, trips, prizes promos, Easy to get promoted(been promoted 4 times since being here), dont listen to the negative reviews about salaries it is very easy to overachieve your targets and make more money then OTE says.
Cons
sometimes a little more freedom in TSD would be helpful!
