      CDW is a good launch pad

      Pros

      It is a pretty good job. The downfalls are that advancement can be a little slow at first. As with any sales job, this is to be expected. Once you do put in some hard work, and time, things will begin clicking. Also, the compensation is good for a job fresh out of college.

      Cons

      The downsides are that management may be a little disconnected at times. Also, the copmany tries cheering up disgruntled employees not by helping with problem, but by buying them things. This shows they are only interested in temporary solutions. Although this puts a bandaid on the situation, it does nothing for long-term morale.

      As a whole, good experience for those fresh on the job market. Strong socially, weak upward mobility.

      Pros

      Great experience for those just out of college with no experience. It is a fun and competitive environment. For those working in the Chicago office, there are a number of fun vendor events that make those sometimes brutal days seem like a distant memory. Very close relationship with management, which can be good and bad!

      Cons

      The base salary was a joke, not sure if it has gotten better, but $25,000 is NOTHING to live off of. There is very little upward mobility within the company and as a result turn over is VERY high. Long days spent on the phone can be draining. Saturated account bases made it next to impossible to make very much money within the first year.
