Pros

Most people that work there are kind, good people just trying to survive Work life balance , I never felt obligated to work overtime.

Cons

company claims to have a great culture but the reality is that it’s toxic. We were treated like we were lucky to have a job, too scared to speak up, you were retaliated against if you did. Kept laying off employees to keep investors happy and make it look like the company was doing better than it is. The employees that remained were left to pick up the slack and the workload. They laid off very good leaders to bring on less expensive employees who had no business being leaders. Additionally,They pay below average and are always trying to save a buck. They think you are lucky to have the CDW name on your resume and they know people want to get in so they will accept a lower offer. Internal employees are treated even worse when it comes to promotions and pay. There is no transparency. They actually told us to not be transparent. Some people in the exact same role were paid very different rates. In order to get a pay increase or bonus, we were forced to do performance reviews multiple times a year, track our activity, take on projects, and create goal plans. They constantly added more and more to our plates that it became impossible to meet our goals for the bonus or raise.
