Pros

-Good work/life balance. -This can be a solid, steady job for the first couple years.

Cons

-Underpaid, even when you excel in special projects, or take on multiple roles at a time. Self-starting is not often rewarded. -Leadership feels very disorganized. -Lots of reorganization this year, and not a lot of clarity on the new direction of the team/company. -Annual layoffs.

Pros

We all help each other to win unlike any other organization I've worked for. I've never seen an organization support their "coworkers" like CDW has. Management is excellent, supportive and not breathing down our neck but of course have expectations. Leadership is visible. The other day I got off the elevator and the CEO, Chris Leahy, was there which startled me to the point I didn't have words for her. Just be prepared to engage with variety of people often and you'll be successful here.

Cons

None at the moment. I could always get more pay but not real cons. If I owned a business, I'd model it after CDW in part.
