Pros

Great benefits, at least until the CDW merger. The opportunity to work with the brightest and most talented Cisco/Microsoft engineers in the industry. The Engineers do a great deal of knowledge sharing and taking care of each other.

Cons

Horrible communication. No clear method of promotions. The professional services (Berbee) area of CDW was run like a sales warehouse and not like a professional services organization.

Pros

You have an opportunity to earn a lot of money in sales. Other positions are average pay.

Cons

No work life balance No matter what the goals is, your never there They keep changing compensation They keep taking accounts from Sales Directors, Sr. Directors, Bill Weaver are very disconnected from what has made CDW great They are turing the place into a bunch of average to below average sales people It looks like HP and Dell from an inside perspective People are leaving in huge numbers and Management does not care

Pros

There is a lot of money to be made at CDW if you're willing to put in the effort. They say you will want to quit this job three times during your first year. This is true but if you can stick it out, you'll see the rewards. I get the feeling that people who talk bad about this job didn't have the drive or motivation to work. You can not be afraid to pick up the phone and call people that most times do not want to speak to you. That's just part of the job. If you can get past that part, you'll be fine.

Cons

Low base salary for the first year. If you can manage your finances for one year, you should be ok.
