Pros

-lots of support from coworkers, manager, product specialists and vendor representatives from top IT manufacturers. - decent base pay with commission, and perks from vendors and CDW as a company - try to keep a very positive work environment -reward sales efforts - tons of perks, SWAG, etc. - great potential for those who make it. - great experience builder.

Cons

- high expectations - hours are 8-5 M-F but it is expected you work after hours to prospect new accounts, do admin, etc - team building rewards done outside of work hours, meaning if you participate you lose personal time or feel left out of team environment at work if you skip these optional events.

Pros

There are a lot of ground-floor opportunities in the organization, but you must be willing to put in some effort and not have a sense of entitlement.

Cons

Career advancement isn't always communicated very clearly, and sometimes people that are less qualified and have less experience are promoted before others with much more skill and real-world exposure.
