Pros
Fun people, dogs allowed, awesome training across a ton of technology.
Cons
Not a lot of room for growth, tons of vendor meetings, pay not too competitive for Seattle, and you will have to go to Toronto ever January (brrr..) for SKO.
Advice to Management
Make SKO virutal, figure out more competitive pay structure and cut out 1/2 of the internal and vendor meetings.

Pros
Ive worked at softchoice for over 3 years and made some of the best friends of my life. Lots of free events, trips, prizes promos, Easy to get promoted(been promoted 4 times since being here), dont listen to the negative reviews about salaries it is very easy to overachieve your targets and make more money then OTE says.
Cons
sometimes a little more freedom in TSD would be helpful!

Pros
Good work, life balance. Lots of fun social activities, being taken out by vendors, etc.
Cons
Not a lot of trust between management and employees. I was working from home, stepped away from my computer for 5 minutes and my boss called me and asked where I was and what I was doing. Created a very stressful work environment.

Pros
Culture, dogs in office, the people
Cons
High expectations for sales targets, classic "corporate bro" feel in a competitive space. Most important, they tell you that you don't need to have a background in tech, but to sell the product and services you very well need to be knowledgable in the tech field or you will struggle to stay motivated.
Advice to Management
More focus in training the new hires about the actual products and technology they will be trying to push for partners like Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, etc. and not just focusing on sales skills
