Pros

The benefits are decent. On-site fitness center and day care are convenient. the computer / technology industry is interesting and always evolving.

Cons

This place thrives on micro-management. If you need to be baby-sat by your boss, then you'd fit in quite well here. They say they listen to stake-holders, but only if the message is what they want to hear. It is a pressure cooker.......way too much stress.

Pros

Structure, training, and proven methodologies are CDW's strengths. Professional work enviroment is replicated at all of their locations. Agressive business planning for maintaining and growing market share. Solid IT infrastructure. Established brand name recognition within their industry.

Cons

CDW overall as a company has abondoned the original foundation and focus on the employees and customers being stakeholders in its success. Now the focus is fullfilling the financial objectives of the executives and private investors. Even though CDW has aggressive initiatives, they are not apt at utilizing creative and collaberative thinking to help facilitate, accomplish, or excede their buisness goals.

Pros

It's fun environment and very challenging. People who work hard are rewarded. Excellent benefits package as well.

Cons

Long hours, a lot of independence. However, that could be seen as a positive. The problem with a lot of the newbies that start at CDW is that they do not want to work. They see CDW as a social engagement. It's a place to hang out till they go to Lincoln Avenue and hit the bars. Guess what? It's a job. If you work hard and play by the rules, you will get ahead at CDW.
