Pros

Training was good when I started, I have been here about four years now and worked in sales previously, so had an idea of what to expect. Started in salles as most people do, worked hard and moved up. They don't promote people simply because they can't hack it where they are, but the pay is certainly fantastic if you work at it.

Cons

Commute to downtown is rough, a revolving door with the newer sales staff, feel they could do better recruiting and it would be a better environment, as with many of the negative reviews, seem to hear a lot of complaints about pay and at the root, you will find someone that either doesn't want to work for it or can't wrap their head around what base plus commission really means.

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.
