Pros

They offer a lot of benefits. Stable company. Business Resource Groups are pretty strong. My teams has a strong trust-based culture. Career growth opportunities. Many tenured coworkers have been there for 15-35 years. Flexible hours and hybrid/remote work. They are implementing recruitment and community outreach programs to begin addressing racial inequities in tech. Time off is okay, and they give you a day off to do community service if you choose to.

Cons

Outdated mindsets, rigid hierarchal leadership structure. Very white. Very male. Large population of older professionals (Boomers, Gen X). Toxic masculinity prevalent in sales culture, some of which do seem to get away with anything. Locked into a role for a year minimum, even if it's not the right fit or if your boss is abusive. Impossible to get a reasonable raise unless you switch roles. Cost of living/location is not factored in, they base all pay off their cost of living near the HQ in Chicago. Getting a new role all depends on who you know. They refuse to make any solid stance on bodily rights or advocate on behalf of LBGTQ+ coworkers/families. Reporting discrimination or microaggressions doesn't always result in action (yes, they have an ethics hotline and non discrimination policies in place, but it may take months to investigate with no guaranteed resolution or immediate action to protect your psychological safety).

Pros

Great training good work experience can make a good amount of money, but in my eyes it’s not enough to the amount we do.

Cons

You will be burnt out after 3 years and middle management makes questionable decisions. Hard to move to other jobs within CDW. Pay is non negotiable. Back end team is a mess.
