Pros

great to start in the IT sales world, base knowledge of sales required, parking paid

Cons

Base salary is low, commissions horrible, constantly harassing clients, long work days, weekly lunch trainings not always paid and very repetitive (can have the same training 3 times in one month ie VMware techcheck). expected to work 45+ hours a week (only paid for 40), must brown nose your way with management, management unfit to lead a team. 90% of the vendor sales specialist are useless, they always "will get back to you with that one" and can take weeks to answer your questions. Greedy company that puts 100% of the blame on sales reps.

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.
