Pros

You can accomplish a good work to life balance if you work towards it, but don't expect a lavish salary or any great leadership in senor management. Tons of talent in certain areas, but so many are moving to greener pastures.

Cons

Too top heavy, the senor management doesn't lead by example or practice what they preach.

Pros

You have the ability to sell full stack solutions, services and software.

Cons

I have worked at CDW for 10yrs and every single year they have changed the comp plan in a way that makes it harder for sellers to make money (constantly moving the goal post). Prior to 2020 CDW had little to no lay offs now it is happening every six months. They say the reasons is to reduce cost and improve efficiencies BUT as a company our sales continue to grow along with the C-levels pockets.
