Pros

Learn the intangibles of relationship based sales. Great people, great atmosphere, plenty of challenges on a daily basis! Not for the faint of heart or unmotivated.

Cons

Low base pay, would not be able to make ends meet if I lived in the city. Looking at it as a light at the end of the tunnel scenario that the knowledge and experience will pay handsomely well before the commissions start rolling in.

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.
