Great place to start

Pros

Great place to learn the technology industry if this is the industry you want to have a career in. Great first sales job if you want to stay inside. Opportunity to make good money, some will make excellent money. Manufacturers will treat you well, buy you lunches, fun events outside of work.

Cons

This is an inside job. By inside I mean a cubicle, all day. If you can't handle that, don't work here. There is some opportunity for "outside" positions, but it is limited and highly competitive to get. Don't work at CDW if you don't want to be in the technology sales arena, if your confused about your life, go take a trip to europe or something if it will make you feel better. This is a place for young people who are interested in technology and making money. The chances of getting rich here are much slimmer than it was 10 years ago.

Pros

cool people lots of fun and opportunities. great place for networking. lots of perks and benefits. great resume builder if you dont stick it out

Cons

pay is absolutely terrible. goals are not communicated until the end of the month so it's extremely frustrating to plan month. the commission structure is ok at best but you can make good money.

Pros

The benefits were ok there. I can't really recommend it to anybody with a pulse. It's an ok place to work at if you want to bust your behind placating people and getting no credit for it

Cons

You're left with scraps for accounts. I've seen many people build their accounts up from nothing only to have it taken away to another department.
