Pros

Fast paced, leading edge technology. Pay is average or above. Generally good people to work with.

Cons

Benefits have been taken away, or severly reduced. Not much potential for bonus even during good times. Communication is extremly lacking, there is defintely an attitude of keeping people in the dark.

Pros

I used to think it was the limitless income potential, but now I have no reason to work for CDW.

Cons

The current culture of moving accounts from account managers with no guarantee of replacement. This causes AM's to have to build a book of business over again. Currently at things are, if you sale a 100k deal at 1% (which is possible given the need to acquire new business and be competitive) you stand to bring home $100. That is 10% of $1000 profit. So what would it take to earn $1000 in commision at this rate? What message does this send to the account managers? Currently, CDW is more focused on generating revenue, and the adders that are there get them their profit, but leaves nothing for the account manager.
