Pros

Set career path, job stability, decent pay

Cons

The most toxic work place I have ever been a part of. I have never dreading coming to work more than the time I was here. Management does not listen to ideas that come from the people who work with the data on a day to day basis. Employee suggestions are discarded or not taken seriously. People constantly throw each other under the bus because they are scared of management repercussions of making an error. Mistakes happen. And I would rather grow from those mistakes and work with upper/middle management to resolve than be scared to make them by fear of being embarrassed or disciplined. The company acknowledges the turnover issue within the Finance/Accounting department but seems to be missing the underlying issues.

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.
