Pros

The company makes a lot of money and they make a lot of established sales people a lot of money which is probably why they are well reviewed. They do offer good benefits like private healthcare and dental.

Kontras

Bullying, sexual harassment, and racism are common at Softcat. HR are made aware but allow it to continue unless they fear legal action. HR have no empathy towards employee situations. If they receive negative Glassdoor reviews they tell managers to ask their employees to leave positive reviews to push the bad ones to the bottom of the list. Watch it happen to this one! Poor salaries unless you work in sales and make all your money from commission. Sales is cold calling or stealing accounts from other people until you start cracking into some accounts. The company has a bad reputation for enabling out of control staff. They are banned from multiple bars, venues, hotels and coach companies because the staff are throwing up, causing damage, caught having sex, passing out, assaulting other Softcat staff and venue staff.

As you are aware our Employee Satisfaction survey results and feedback from our employees (e.g. Glassdoor comments) indicate that most employees are very satisfied with Softcat's offerings. We do take allegations of bullying, harrassment, racism and employee poor behaviour very seriously and therefore please ask that if you have been subjected to such treatment or have witnessed such events to please get in contact with me or contact Speak-Up (details are in People HR under documents).

Pros

Softcat places a strong emphasis on its core values: fun, community, intelligence, and passion. This vibrant workplace atmosphere is characterized by kindness and a spirit of unity and helpfulness with people willing to lend a hand. Softcat encourages collaboration by offering the opportunity to do induction in Headquarters in Marlow, England. This initiative strengthens relationships among team members and gives a sense of belonging. Softcat is a great place to work.

Pros

Having a supportive team, competitive salary, and focus on work-life balance, Softcat aims to provide a workspace outside the experience one might usually find in corporate America. In my time here, they have delivered on each front by encouraging us to learn and lean on each other while in the office, the space has become collaborative rather than competitive, which has been an inspiring point to put my best foot forward. Various team outings, in-office events, or shared lunches with direct seniors shed light on the people behind the business model and established workplace comradery I was unfamiliar with.

Kontras

While the team is supportive, the learning curve can be steep and sometimes overwhelming. With Softcat's wealth of offerings, it's important that you prioritise time management skills and lean on your seniors in the beginning, which can, at times, feel discouraging; without a true daily marker for progress, you may not know how much you have already learned in a short time.
