Pros

They will take you on without an IT background if you want to gain experience on your resume for a future career in tech.

Cons

I saw a review a while back with the same title and it resonated with me. I’m also not going to get too granular. The short version is that great people come in and are underpaid, overworked, mistreated and lead to believe that business systems will eventually improve and career growth at Softchoice is attainable for everyone. I remember doing a post-interview (done with a team member) with a bright-eyed kid right out of University who was a top candidate according to management. I tried to sell that person on their eventual role and career growth at Softchoice. The candidate joined and then left after a few months. Sometimes I see them on my LinkedIn and feel guilty and wonder if my conversation with him played a role in that person accepting us, and assume that I wasted their time. This review will serve as my redemption. When I left for another company, I immediately made a great deal more money, I closed my laptop at 5 and I didn’t bring the stress of my day home to my friends and family. That was something I didn’t realize was available when all I knew was Softchoice.

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.
