Pros

Endless Food from vendors and partners

Cons

No real management. Super racist and sexist working environment. Employees and management cross many lines with drug use and they just sleep with each other.

Pros

Good work culture within support segment tons of free food and collateral job was not very stressful and fairly easy to pick up Great entry level opportunities to IT/sales/data Sales support managers are generally good people/managers

Cons

-non-sales coworkers are second-class citizens -for temp-to-hires your employment does not officially start until you are hired directly. So if you are employed in a 3/6/12 month temp position regardless of how long you've been at the job, day 1 of your official CDW hire date you start with 0 vacation or sick hours. PTO is accrued at a rate of 6.66 vacay hrs a month, sick at 3.33 hrs a month so by keeping you temp-to-hire for 6 months you lose 1 full week of vacation vs. direct hire - a.k.a. try not to get hired as a contractor if you can help it. -pay is embarrassingly low, -benefits are poor - starts at 2 weeks vacation, doesn't increase until 4 years in -paternity leave starts at 1 day after 1 year of employment and caps at 3 days total -for a IT company with teams spread across multiple locations and the connectivity to support it the fact that remote work is frowned upon at best and completely denied at worst is absurd - change is incredibly slow

Toxic Work Culture

Pros

Set career path, job stability, decent pay

Cons

The most toxic work place I have ever been a part of. I have never dreading coming to work more than the time I was here. Management does not listen to ideas that come from the people who work with the data on a day to day basis. Employee suggestions are discarded or not taken seriously. People constantly throw each other under the bus because they are scared of management repercussions of making an error. Mistakes happen. And I would rather grow from those mistakes and work with upper/middle management to resolve than be scared to make them by fear of being embarrassed or disciplined. The company acknowledges the turnover issue within the Finance/Accounting department but seems to be missing the underlying issues.
