Pros

casual dress code good office location (Toronto)

Cons

company makes a strong point of paying well below industry standards extremely high turnover fraternity culture lack of training coworkers often unprofessional/uninterested/unhelpful high pressure sales environment company does not live up to its values continually increases responsibilities, demands, and targets significantly, arbitrarily, and aggressively with zero uplift or consideration in terms of salary. Many employees make less the longer they stay warning - marketing team was made aware of too many negative reviews on glassdoor so emails were sent to workers asking for them to enter shill reviews on this site.

Pros

Remote work Recently acquired by WWT

Cons

What they tell you the role is definitely is NOT what it is. How they deceive you into taking this role is unethical. They promise you inbound and warm leads and claim to be the preferred AWS Partner but AWS doesn't want to deal with us at all because we don't have the technical staff qualified to support their customers. When we acquire AWS customers they wind up having a bad experience and Softchoice has a really bad reputation internally at AWS. They target ex AWS employees because they are already certified & they already have contacts. Meanwhile all the managers are not even certified, which means they don't know the content and can't talk with AWS Leaders effectively. There's favoritism so some people are forced to call nonstop and send emails but the people with sales don't do that. To cover it up, they just started having those people make calls but several months of records tell a different story. Management is extremely inexperienced and underpaid so they have side businessss and podcasts.
