Pros

Plenty of training Casual and fun environment Clear expectations Plenty of chance for income, for those who work hard and work smart Progressive goals Plenty of contacts and resources to sell are provided (i.e. product specialists) Great relationship with vendor partners

Cons

Some employees who are short sited, closed minded or frustrated easily, are a negative influence on new sales staff. The company is not without its flaws...but it's easily one of the most enjoyable places to work that I have known. Maybe a little too much focus on the "more calls=more sales" mentality. I get that by getting new Account Managers to make more calls, it builds a strong work ethic and can expose new sales ops and expose lazy AM's, but there should be extra focus on the quality of calls. A little more technical training early on would help overcome new AM's who are nervous about in depth IT conversations.

If management stays out of the way it would be better.

Pros

Training is or was great. There is a reason many other companies recruit from CDW.

Cons

At times it can feel you don't have a voice as in any large organization. They are very committed to a hardware strategy, and it was painful from the services side, however this may have gotten better.
