Pros

Very helpful and training program is great for people just starting out in the business but if you do not know anything about computers, it will take you forever to make the money they promise.

Cons

You need to be very tech savy to do well in this company. IF you are just starting out and know nothing, it will take you a long time.

Pros

Good location and a great place to start your sales career. Give good training and ability to work with customers. You will want to end up in the Med/Lar division or Government. The SMB and all others don't have much opportunity.

Cons

Not much opportunity for growth. Feels very much like a churn and burn operation. Sales turnover is heavy, but that is the way CDW operates. Some are succesful but most have worked here for many years, and that is still no guarantee. Not many places to transfer into other positions. Pay is terrible.
