Pros

Can't really think of any. How about "They used to be on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For"!

Cons

Ever since MPK left, their new leader has taken CDW down a long slow slide (growth has primarily come from aquisitions). MPK's replacement never did come to understand that delivering a quality product and execellent customer experience WAS THE PRODUCT (shocker, since he came from the airline industry). Slowly over the past 6 years, loyal customers have left and have not come back As the years went on, he populated the executive team with those who had similar ideas (and they in turn promoted management that had the same ideas). Politics and C.Y.A. rule the day now - if you are good at these things you should do well at least until the company finally goes under or the executive team is replaced.

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.
