CDW Employee Reviews about "base salary"

Pros

nothing this company is absolutely terrible workplace

Cons

- 32k base salary - huge supply shortage on inventory' - no one knows who cdw is - training is very long and not too beneficial to the actual position - expect to work 10+ hour days if you want to make more than 32k - take the safe bet and go get a hire paying base salary + commission job elsewhere

Pros

Cons

-Base Salary -Tax % on Bonus -Siloed workforce -Evolution Rate of Change

Pros

- Intensive paid training program that'll probably help further your sales career. - Co-workers and Residency managers are laid-back and easy to work with - the best part about my time there was probably my Sales class.

Cons

- This company has a few fundamental problems - it lacks professional people who do their jobs efficiently. There were several communication breakdowns I experienced -- it was easy for me to connect with customers and get them to put in orders, but getting those orders to them was almost always a nightmare. - You almost always have to communicate with several internal stakeholders (product specialists, purchasing, bid desks, BD etc.), and these teams are all highly inefficient and unprofessional. It takes ages to get them to answer emails and you cannot move forward with the sale without key information from them, which makes the customer agitated and makes you, being client-facing, take accountability for their mistakes. I once lost a huge sale because of the purchasing department's mistake, and my manager literally told me to lie to the customer and say I got their information down wrong. So not only does all your hard work go into the dump, but so does your self-respect. They gaslight and guilt-trip you. People who rise to the top are brainwashed enough to think they can't do better at an actual reputable organization. Some - Embarrassingly low base salary and commission - half the people who were a part of my cohort quit within the first 6 months. The job is a nightmare and you don't get compensated for how much you have to deal with by default. People who stay with them are usually older ones trying to restart/switch their careers, or college drop-outs who are desperate and willing to work 16 hour days and lose their self-respect to make some cash. Young and bright talent from top schools in the country usually recognize their worth within a few months and will get better opportunities with higher pay. - Support hasn't been enough for workers onboarded remotely.

Pros

Training is easy and they pay you through it. You can make some good commission if you luck out with your accounts

Cons

bad base salary, and the accounts that you’re assigned when you finish traininf can feel like a lottery
