Pros

Benefits. However, they come out very expensive. Every year, the medical insurance premium goes up. Benefits are reduced.

Cons

There is too much waste, different level of management (Some people don't know what they are doing), too much red tape, etc. The CEO has made the company too corporate similar to the federal government. The CEO only takes care of his top management. He really does not care for the low level employees.

Pros

CDW has started to test the waters around work/life balance, launching pilot programs in individual departments (individual department driven, not corporate driven) to help coworkers better organize their worklife and homelife.

Cons

Our overall growth has slowed over the past 5 or so years, and what used to be a very driven company seems to be losing its mojo. Alignment across individual departments seems more complicated, everyone wants to drive strategy and no one wants to execute anymore making it hard to complete simple projects.

Pros

You get a great start in IT even if you don't have IT experience. You'll learn a lot about technical solutions, hardware and software. A great company to work for if you are a new graduate. You don't make a lot of money in the beginning but if you stay for a while, there is a possibilty of making a six-figure income as an account manager. Some of the Account Managers here are happy and some are not. It all depends on if you are successful with

Cons

You don't make a lot of money your first year on the job. Benefits a wonderful. You get discounts on anything they sell. You get anything for 1 percent over what CDW paid for it. They have doughnuts, fruit, cereal bars and bagels every Tuesday and Thursday.
