Pros
-relaxed culture -young energetic workforce -exposure to all the technology through IT stack -amazing onboaring program
Cons
Ultimately, Softchoice is a national reseller, and a great starting point of your IT career. You'll have the great opportunity of working with a dearth of oem vendors to really build your knowledge of the IT stack. With that said, don't expect upper management to invest in you past the on boarding, as far as they're concerned, you're just another cog in a machine to make Birch Hill (the VC that bought out softchoice) as much money as possible. From a sales enablement perspective , you'll get next to no support, be tasked with a quixotic quota and if you're the lucky few that didn't inherit a "hot potato" account which will allow you to hit plan and bring in that quixotic quota congrats, you'll receive total compensation (base and commissions included) equivalent to 3-6% of what you made for the company. There's no corporate ladder to climb at Softchoice. Stay here for up to two years, network with your vendor partners and jump ship to a more egalitarian and rewarding oem company when the opportunity arises. If you're here for longer than 24 months, you're just holding yourself and your career back.
