Softcat Reviews

Pros

People are genuinely nice and caring. Support is offered every step of the way and you are treated like a family member, unlike most companies. Management truly cares about the company and people and they set reasonable expectations. Overall, the atmosphere is very positive, fun and encouraging.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any cons.

Pros

A great company that takes pride in looking after its staff, whether in the office, or at home working remotely. This list goes on: * Dental and Health insurance * Pension scheme * Share incentive scheme * Ride to work programme * Sebatical rewards for long-term employees * 6-month and 12-month incentive trips * Care packages, BBQs, celebration days, parties, Pride festivities... you name it. * Flexible working hours and flexible home/office working.

Cons

There's a great deal of focus on getting the work done, and this will lead into a lot of late evenings. Manage your time wisely, and know when to switch off the laptop. Pay reviews can be very challenging; no bonus schemes available to non-sales. It can be very difficult to convince the company your position is of the market value.

Pros

Great place to work with good energy from the young teams.

Cons

Not really any major ones to complain about

Pros

1) Culture-everyone in the office are teammates but more importantly friends. The craic in the office is great and makes working feel a lot more fun. 2) Learning & Development- I came into Softcat as a graduate with no experience selling I.T and every day you learn something new. The development in this job is amazing and I have only scratched the surface. The IT industry is a tough one, but the knowledge you are equipped with from Softcat you learn rapidly. 3) Open office floor plan-I have been seated beside team leaders and sales managers and this type of setting is great for cold calling. You could make a call and it could go well then your sales manager would give you a couple tips on how to improve it and make it even better which helps you sell more. You can also hear everyone around you which helps boost how quickly you learn. 4) Approachable workforce- it doesn’t matter if you have been with the company 5 minutes or 10 years everyone has time to help you improve and develop no matter how senior they are within the company . 5) social events- safe to say the social aspect of the job is great (when the pandemic ends of course). Nights out are very eventful to say the least with plenty of banter had. 6)Commission-you have the ability to go out and make a lot of money if you are smart, hardworking and resilient.

Cons

1) advertised as 9-5 which is completely true ! However if you want to make a lot money expect longer hours.
