Pros

Working downtown and in a nice area Clean facilities Some what comfy chairs

Cons

Low pay, bad management, calling a lot, poor communication between employees, snobby bosses and low pay. This is a stressful job and not worth 25k a year in my opinion but for others it might be.

Pros

- the vast amounts of continued training and informational materials - numerous resources to assist account managers - extensive initial training - vendor perks

Cons

- CDW epitomizes the faulty american culture - all work, no play - CDW does not promote a healthy work life balance, in fact they discourage it - feels like working in a frat/sorority house - though the resources are plentiful, an account manager has to jump through way too many hoops to make any progress - not nearly as laid back as they promote themselves to be - extreme micromanagers in a subtle, backhanded kind of way - very rarely congratulate you but very quick to tell you what you're accomplishing isn't good enough - every time I go to someone with a problem they tell me to go to someone else, who tells me to go to someone else, etc. until i'm back where I started - we are falsely encouraged to be "ourselves" as long as "ourselves" is exactly what the company wants us to be - nearly impossible commission structure on top of laughable starting salary - very little paid time off offered - extreme favoritism - success depends heavily on who you know rather than how good you actually are
