Pros

It's a paycheck. That's all.

Cons

Management is full of unethical liars. They made up a quote, attributed it to me, then pushed it to Sales to push out to the public (LinkedIn, customer engagements, etc). They've cut my pay 3 times in the last two years through "restructuring" of our "bonus" program. I have no control over company sales, yet I get dinged by it. People are nice, but not the brightest in the industry. Too much old school "do you know who the F I am" BS mentality because this place is run by corrupt, uneducated children.

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.
