Pros

Great at selling hardware as that is their bread and butter.

Cons

Purchased our company so that they could get into high-end consulting services and has had a hard time getting away from their cookie cutter process driven sku's for basic rack and stack. Just don't know what to do with higher end consultants.

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.
