Pros

CDW is a stable, growing company.

Cons

I received a promotion resulting in a change from an hourly to a salaried position. Assuming I continue to work an average work week of 45 hours, my compensation is now 5% less. Additionally, due to the timing of the promotion, I was also deemed ineligible for this year's merit increase.

Pros

Partner events, lot of chances to win free tech or vacations, culture is great, everyone is willing to help eachother out.

Cons

The nation's leading IT Solutions Provider pays some of the lowest bases and commissions. I performed in the top 10% consistently in my one year here and I did not even pull 35k in year one. This is a glorified internship and if you have IT and sales experience I would stay away. I'm headhunted by competitors and startups on a weekly basis who are offering 45 to 55k bases and commission structures much more generous than CDW's 3% of gross profit. You're now expected to do an unrealstic amount of work in 8 hours because overtime is never approved. The successful ARs many times work while clocked out.
