Pros

The benefits are decent. On-site fitness center and day care are convenient. the computer / technology industry is interesting and always evolving.

Cons

This place thrives on micro-management. If you need to be baby-sat by your boss, then you'd fit in quite well here. They say they listen to stake-holders, but only if the message is what they want to hear. It is a pressure cooker.......way too much stress.

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.
