Pros
Highly successful, well led company. Starting a career in sales isn't for everyone and not everyone who does start will make it, but for driven, intelligent people there's a genuine opportunity at Softcat and good rewards on offer.
Cons
There's a bit of a blokey atmosphere which can be a bit grating. Honestly though not much to complain about.
Advice to Management
Don't get complacent.
