Pros

Coworkers are very friendly. 401(k) match and profit sharing are consistent. base salary is low for sales roles but commission is uncapped. Work from home is available, sales roles are hybrid.

Cons

Leadership has seemed stagnant at points but are trying to make major changes all at once. Multiple layoffs in the past two years. Company has made acquisitions that were total failures and laid off most holdovers. Competition has caught up in key areas and they are struggling to convince AWS/Azure/GCP customers to sign over billing & services contracts.

Pros

You have the ability to sell full stack solutions, services and software.

Cons

I have worked at CDW for 10yrs and every single year they have changed the comp plan in a way that makes it harder for sellers to make money (constantly moving the goal post). Prior to 2020 CDW had little to no lay offs now it is happening every six months. They say the reasons is to reduce cost and improve efficiencies BUT as a company our sales continue to grow along with the C-levels pockets.
