Business outlook
Pros
Its a high energy, fast paced environment. It is also a flat organization, which helps foster the fast paced culture. I also like the perks associated with being a coworker. I think many long tenured coworkers take it for granted that CDW still provides holiday bonuses, company sponsored amusement park events, holiday parties, etc. Many of these perks have been phased out of similar sized companies as a means to handle costs.
Cons
The speed at which we are expected to operate definitely has negative impacts on an individual's work-life balance. The speed also creates the need for a ton of rework; as we tend to work so fast to meet deadlines, that we often fail to take a break and reassess whether the work is hitting the mark.
