      Stable company, good work environment but sorely lacking in career advancement opportunities

      Pros

      CDW is a place where if you work hard you will be rewarded with the satisfaction of personal growth. Great people, friendly and comfortable work environment

      Cons

      If you're looking to work your way up or use a spot in CDW as a stepping stone to somewhere else don't even bother. you will end up somewhat frustrated with the politics and empty promises

      Pros

      Success at CDW is determined just as it's always been, based on how hard you want to work. Work really hard, make a lot of money. 2009 was tough for everybody, but the model has not changed.

      Cons

      2009 was an opportunity for CDW to knock out some of our weaker competitors, given our financial security. We were not as aggressive as we could have been.

      It is a SALES organization - numbers matter not your work quality

      Pros

      Ability to work from home for remote employees. Good training in your practice area (for tech employees). Friendly work atmosphere (for remote employees) with ability to have good life/work balance.

      Cons

      This is a sales organization - no matter how your customers like you and your professional advice if you do not do your monthly numbers - you are out. As a technology consultant you are dependent on account managers and account executives to provide you leads and customer engagement opportunities. Yet your management sets for you a quota you must meet even when your account mangers provide you 0 leads. Middle management (some of them at least) tends to play in 'broken phone' and blamestorming without any desire to understand what is really going on during engagement process. Horrible benefits: expect that for HMO you will be paying appx 70% of insurance costs - several hundred after tax $ for married healthy couple with no kids.
