SoftwareONE Reviews

Pros

I'm not the type of person that writes a lot of reviews - positively or negatively. However, I feel compelled after reading some of the recent comments left about SWO. I am a woman that has the privilege of working for SWO for the past 2+ years. Our company is built upon inclusion and opportunity. I have been given every opportunity possible to shine, thrive and contribute my strengths. I have the privilege of working...

Cons

Continue to improve the benefits programs in the US. Continue to invest in technology to make our jobs easier.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing - we trust you. Continue to include your employees and gather input as you do today. Don't lose the spirit of working hard and having fun.

Pros

Great colleages and support with inside sales

Cons

Direction of company is unknown. Decide on what to focus energies and execute

Pros

I can’t think of any really, but if there is 1 it would be the good people I know at SoftwareONE.

Cons

Management is poor to say the least. Lack vision, greedy, impossible to reason with, constantly screwing people over. Commission plan is beyond weak......commission is paid 2 months after the quarter end, yes 2 months after the quarter end!!! Zero incentive to even do anything above and beyond. I will be gone soon!

Advice to Management

You should be smart enough to know what to do especially reading the poor reviews on here and what you hear internally. Global leadership is weak, and US leadership is even more weak.

Pros

If you're interested in trying something new, but may fear the licensing part of the role, I just want you to know that in regards to the material you have been given, you have so many people to lean on and ask questions during difficult times. The sales floor feels like a family and we are always here to help in any capacity that we can. The culture is incredible and allows you to feel like you have family even when...

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth/career moves other than sales. Workload can often feel overwhelming. You need to be a self starter and disciplined to succeed.

Advice to Management

Keep training new and tenured employees to ensure they constantly understand the changing business.

Pros

Great company and really wonderful people. I've definitely made connections that i value and will keep for many years to come. Plentiful PTO is provided for employees. Leadership is putting a lot of work into L&D and the team that they've hired is nothing short of wonderful...maybe not all leaders take advantage of this, but they should. They also offer a lot of room to advance if that is your drive, but you will...

Cons

-Doesn't seem like all leadership is totally aligned in all aspects of the business. -As a european based company i felt that some of the company wide-decisions did not fit with the US sales trends (as i'm sure is the case with a lot of european based companies) -Benefits could be better, but again it's a european based company and majority of the employee base is not necessarily in the U.S. so this makes it difficult...

Advice to Management

-Continue to invest in L&D. -Ensure services are fully baked prior to releasing them and expecting sales teams to close deals around new offerings. -there is a large focus on a work/life balance but it seems to be all talk. Allow people to use all of their PTO and encourage that they do without giving them a had time about days out. (in turn, ensure that they're not so overworked that taking time off seems impossible)

Pros

PTO is plentiful. Cool if you get to use it.

Cons

- ZERO DIVERSITY. Leadership is all white men, no effort to become more diverse. - HR is a nightmare. You can see that just by global responding to every negative review on Glassdoor in a condescending manner. Harassment happens all the time and HR does nothing to protect their employees. - There is no commitment to culture. It’s just words on a wall at this point. - Turnover rate is very high and it’s only the best...

Advice to Management

- Leadership needs to be overhauled and now is the perfect time. Invest in better technologies, data insights and your employees. If you don’t work to fix the problems and show people you care, you will continue hemorrhaging top performers.

Pros

Work from home. Lots of PTO

Cons

None of the work from home or PTO matters if you make $500 commission in the entire year.

Advice to Management

The re-seller market seems to be fading fast.

Pros

Work environment is good. Great management team.

Cons

Turnover rate is high. But that might the norm in a sales based company.
