Pros

CDW offers great benefits and a company you can be proud to say you work for. If you work hard and build solid relationships with field resources you can make a very good living.

Cons

The company has moved more towards micro management in the past few years. Management went from being sales focused to more babysitter role. Account protection has always been an issue for the past 6 years and at a moments notice they can take an account(s) away with nothing in return. That hurts when you dedicate several years worth of work growing and developing accounts to finally reap the financial reward. Management plays favorites. Advancement through the ranks is very difficult.

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.
