Pros

Inside sales is always good. Free food - bagels, coffee, etc. Decent co-workers.

Cons

Management is always watching and listening to your conversations, some co-workers take sales from you. Management doesn't help you.

Pros

good leadership. they are the leader in the industry and know it, so don't pay as much as what you would make elsewhere for non-sales positions. it's a great place to get started and to learn from some smart people.

Cons

if you start in sales, it's always rough. but it's worth it. a great place to learn, and get skills to go elsewhere. if you start in a different department, there are good people to learn from. however, things are a bit beaurocratic, and the old-school management still rules the roost, with the exception of a people brought in externally who don't really get the culture

Pros

CDW is a growing company that likes to promote within. Relationships with vendors afford opportunities for Account Managers to also move to pre-sales, brand managers, and other careers related to CDW but with partner companies. They encourage sales and technical certifications and outline a path for achieving those certifications. Benefits are good and management genuinely wants Account Managers to be successful, they recognize that we contribute to the growth of the company.

Cons

It can be tough to build a book of business when starting out. There are a ton of vendor trainings which are good in moderation but we seem to get the same ones every few months and some don't necessarily pertain to the segment we're in (SMB, Med/Lar, etc...)
