Pros

Great environment, great sales experience, and a very young work force here. If you're looking to get into the sales business, the training and experience you get from CDW is a great starting point.

Cons

The pay is terrible at first. The base salary is garbage, and never changes no matter how long you're with the company. The only way you can really make good to great money, is if you get good accounts, or get lucky on some big orders. If you get on a team that has tenured people on it, you're pretty much screwed.

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.
