Pros

Good support from direct supervisor. Good benefits, medical, dental, vision. Good work-life balance.

Cons

The problems are a matter of overs and unders. I'm not in sales. My dept is a support role. Understaffed, underpaid, under-appreciated. Overworked, over-stressed, overwhelmed. The upper management asks our opinion about what we feel would improve things, but nothing changes. My dept is too short-handed to handle the workload and the company doesn't care. It's a disservice to the customers and employees. It's not worth the aggravation. Driving an explosives truck in Afghanistan would be less stressful.

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.
