Pros

CDW is a profitable company. We have great health benefits and other perks such as Coworker appreciation day at Great America and our annual backbone party. They also give away turkeys and pies during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even in a down economy, we have still received our profit-sharing which was broken up between two quarters. There is definitely the desire by management to continue to make CDW one of the best companies to work for.

Cons

It is difficult to make lateral moves to other departments. There is a disparity between perks received by sales as opposed to the sales support depts.

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.
