Pros

Freedom to work remotely (in most positions, not all.) Co-workers and managment are respectful, good working environment, excellent rapport amongst co-workers. Lots of opportunites, they are good about hiring from within.

Cons

If you started in a lower position and work your way up, the opportunities are there (which is good) but the pay level stinks. They don't reward you for the knowledge you already have. Your peers could be making 20K more than you - and that sucks.

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.
