Pros

- Great education on sales and technical specs - Constant perks from within the company and vendors - Start off with a class, thus making your social adaptation very easy since you all start on the same foot

Cons

- high turn-over rate because only those who are ambitious and tough makes it, therefore unstable as to who stays and who doesn't, could negatively affect the atmosphere of work if a lot of your friends leave - no initiative to improve or promote employees' work-life balance - no comfort area for employees to socialize or take a break

Pros

We all help each other to win unlike any other organization I've worked for. I've never seen an organization support their "coworkers" like CDW has. Management is excellent, supportive and not breathing down our neck but of course have expectations. Leadership is visible. The other day I got off the elevator and the CEO, Chris Leahy, was there which startled me to the point I didn't have words for her. Just be prepared to engage with variety of people often and you'll be successful here.

Cons

None at the moment. I could always get more pay but not real cons. If I owned a business, I'd model it after CDW in part.

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.
