Softcat Employee Reviews about "basic salary"

Pros

Strong Company values Well Supported Good Commission rates

Cons

Low basic Salary Generic Targeting System

Pros

- Great working culture and you are treated brilliantly - Offices are cool - Higher management genuinely care

Cons

- Basic salary is extremely low - Yes there is commission involved but the good commission only comes from new business - Very pressured and stressful job - The role is extremely saturated, too many AMs for not enough quality accounts - Salary sacrifice after first year which they don't explain in enough detail before you join. For anyone wondering what this is, in simple terms after you complete your first year, you are made to pay £1500 of your GP you've made from orders to Softcat to pay for your seat. This is MONTHLY. Your first £1500GP made each month, goes to the company and you don't see or get commission on any of it.

Pros

Rewarding, challenging, valued as an employee, self controlled

Cons

Low basic salary, and systems are out dated

Pros

Great company atmosphere and culture Great social events + parties Good graduate job as it gives you exposure to a wide variety of technology vendors and industries Excellent way to earn a large amount of money at a young age Company is expanding so there is always opportunities to move roles if you prove yourself

Cons

Poor basic salary for a graduate job, but you don't to Account Management for the basic you do it for the earning potential

Pros

Great Company to work for. Really cares and values its employees. plenty of opportunity and progression available. Cold calling is cold calling, however worth while for the uncapped commission structure.

Cons

Average basic salary, but the un-capped commission makes up for this.
