Pros
Softmart, as a small business, has remained competitive with largest IT organizations in the country. So much so that PC Connection just purchased the company. I've been lucky enough to work for the manager of the Big East Team that will do everything in his power to help his employees and stick with them while they try to earn a career. In what could be viewed as a small company with limited resources prior to the PC Connection purchase; the one resource in management that you could always count on to "go to battle" for you is the manager of the Big East. Softmart has provided the time and ability for its employees to grow reach their goals; I consider myself fortunate to have been provided that opportunity and work under the manager of the Big East.
Kontras
Everyone knows about the 80/20 rule in sales. It is a shame that people who aren't successful feel the need to spread negativity and namelessly attack others. I find it appalling that after Softmart has given so much to help people achieve their goals that some would turn around and try to harm the organization through cowardly slander. A big "CON" is people that blame others for their inability to reach success.
